We are seriously crazy about God's heart for adoption. The past year and a half has changed us drastically. We are overwhelmed by what God has done for us. By deciding to adopt, we have gotten to see a physical representation of what God has done for us. We have never felt more connected to the heart of God. We feel like the luckiest people on the planet, because we get to adopt. For those of you who are believers and want to adopt, but feel like the costs are too much, let us ask you a question: How poor is your God? We were asked the same question. The moment we realized that God's provision and means were infinite, a peace overwhelmed us, and we knew we could walk forward, no matter how much money we had in our bank account.
Since then, we have received checks in the amount of $5,000 and $3,300. We've had fundraisers that brought in $1,500 to $3,000 at a time. It has simply been....amazing. It is an absolute testimony to God's heart for the orphan. And for every difficult part of this process (waiting, delays, changes etc), it is WORTH IT. God looked at us and knew we were worth the price of His son's death on the cross. We look at the faces of our beautiful twins, and we know beyond a shadow of a doubt, they are worth it. Every life is worth it.
We have One Love. That Love encompasses all that we are and all that we do. May we chase hard after that Love till we breathe our last breath.
Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.
