Adoption

After three years of continued prayer and guidance, Seth and I have decided to begin the lengthy process of adoption. We are excited and terrified at the same time! We know God will work and will direct our paths, but you have to admit, EVERYONE loves telling adoption horror stories. However, we have not been deterred by this. Is it going to be hard? Yes, we know it wont be easy, but we are commanded to care for the orphans (and widows). James 1:27 (NLT) "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you." 

Dr. Russell Moore, who pastors Highview Baptist Church, wrote a book entitled Adopted for Life. He gives his own adoption experience and tells us how "The gospel of Jesus Christ means our families and churches ought to be at the forefront of the adoption of orphans close to home and around the world." Now, this doesn't mean that all families have been called to adopt a child, but what about supporting someone that is desiring to adopt? Not even monetary support, but through prayer?

Seth and I are so excited to see what God has in store. We would truly covet your prayers! If you would please remember us as we begin this journey. We serve a great God able to do great things! 

Happy Sunday! :)
