Father to the fatherless, defender of widows — this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families.Psalms 68:5-6

Will you pray with me?

Dear Jesus-  As I sit down to write the initial post in this humble blog of ours I am at a loss for words, my fingers will literally not move.  Putting my feelings into writing makes me feel a little too vulnerable today.  I have decided to offer a prayer instead, I hope it honors you, it comes from my heart...This is the start of a new beginning for our family and we are EXCITED!  It's been a long time coming and our hearts have been tested and tempted away from following your calling but we are in your presence ready to let you lead us down this road called adoption.  At this point there is so much to take in, so many papers to fill out, so many what-if's we have no answer to.  Sometimes we find this to be a great adventure and some days it feels like a load too heavy to carry.  We KNOW this is your will for us, and we pray for a faith that will not be shaken.  Lord I ask for your blessing upon our hearts, our children both near and far, our financial circumstances, our marriage, this blog, our patience as we know it will be tested, our relationship with you.  Thank you for choosing us.....

Love,
Christy
