For a majority of my life I have dreamed of adopting, this dream was put on hold quite some time, for many reasons. However, for the last couple of months God has been reawakening this desire within me, he has been putting people and things in my path that I could hardly ignore. Some of these things prompted more discussion with Derek, more feeling out his heart and respecting where he was at.
Then it happened, God broke my heart as I looked into the eyes of a little boy, a little boy who needs a family, a little boy who we are going to pursue with our whole hearts and do everything we can do to make our own. THIS IS HAPPENING and God is in control. We have already seen God moving in this process and we are excited to see what else he will do.
We know a couple things about this process: 1. God is going to have to move some serious mountains and we cannot wait to see him do it. 2. We are going to need the support of our amazing friends and family. 3. We are committed to do everything we can to make this happen.
We cannot yet share many details about the boy we already love because we are waiting until we can be committed to him (his social worker is out of the office). SO please please pray that this process can officially begin soon.
We are sharing this news right now because we are stepping out in faith that God will continue this process and also because we want to start fundraising right away. We are working towards a goal of $25K and yes we know that is a lot, but we also know that God can do BIG things! Ephesians 3:20!
We hope that you will take this journey with us and help bring out little man home. It wont be easy, but it will be worth it. This blog will be a way that we will keep you updated about where we are in the process as well as upcoming fundraisers so keep checking back :)
