Many of you may have noticed that this adoption journey has been somewhat of a spiritual upheaval in my heart. I have grown by leaps and bounds, my mind has journeyed places I never expected, my marriage has become more solid than ever, my thoughts are centered on something much bigger than my own selfishness.
My eyes have been opened.
My heart has been wrecked.
I have found something to live passionately for.
A few months ago I was moving into our new home. My biggest worry was what color to paint my dining room, or how to arrange the furniture in my living room. There is nothing wrong with enjoying those things……but how my heart has changed in just a few short months……
Today I am sifting through all of the garage sale items so graciously donated to our sale this weekend. I know it is just stuff, but it brings tears to my eyes. I am so touched that people are willing to help our family. I am humbled by how God is using each person who has selflessly given to our family to help bring our girl home.
And I wholeheartedly believe that God is unfolding this adoption story.
From the anonymous $100 bill sent to us in the mail, to the graciousness of our church offering tax-deductable donations God has shown us His plan.
We are humbled, we are blessed, and we see God's work so clearly here. God's plan and His work will win every time. He is in control.
Many people want to adopt but feel the cost is too great. If you feel you can't adopt just because of finances, please hold onto God as your anchor. I know everyone's experience will be different. But God will not change. He will lead. He will guide. He will provide.
After all….He first adopted us.
