YES ...we are adopting again!

Some of you may be shocked..that with 3 kids, busy career etc..that we will be taking on adopting 2 more kids from Ethiopia. I know it sounds crazy! But that being said ,please believe me when I tell you we know that this is God's will for our family. I just can't imagine saying NO to God on this one. And while we are scared, we are also really excited. When God puts a heavy burden on your heart to DO something for Him, we can chose to sit still , plug our ears and ignore Him or take a leap of faith. We are taking the leap. I just don't want to have to answer to Him when He says "I gave you a heavy burden to adopt MY children and you ignored me." So, here we go again, taking the leap of faith, believing it is something that pleases Him.

James; 2, 14What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16If one of you says to him, "Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? 17In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

I ask all of you (our friends and family) to pray for us. Pray for our children to adjust, to accept and love eachother, and all stay healthy. Pray for the children in Africa and in this world that have no one and cry out every night for someone/anyone. Pray for the mothers who have to die not knowing if anyone will come to hug their children after they are gone. Pray that we will continue to hear God's voice and be led to the children God is bringing to our family. Pray for our new children in Ethiopia now as God is making a way for their new family to come to them and for their prayers to be answered.

And mostly celebrate and praise God with us as we start an adventure and journey that is going to be challenging, rewarding, incredible, amazing, life changing, life altering and a huge blessing to all of us....we love you all ...
