One Month!

We have gratefully had Michael in our arms for One Month now!  It's doesn't seem like that long but at the same time I don't remember what it was like without him.  He brings so much joy into our lives everyday and we are so thankful that the Lord chose him for us.  It has been neat to see over time how all the babies here seem like a perfect match for their families.  Sometimes it may seem like the Lord works in mysterious ways but his ways are greater than ours.  Adoption is a "Faith" journey.  You never know what is around the corner or what obstacle you might face, but the reward in the end is worth it.  I will never say it was easy or that paper chasing was fun, but I can say the blessing we have received is beyond words.  Being a parent to a child who needs a home is a calling from God.  Not all people receive that calling, but if you do, it is a journey you will never forget.  Over the past few years I have had friends create families through foster care, embryo adoption, and domestic adoption and we all have different stories but so much in common at the same time.  To share this experience with other families is humbling and comforting at the same time.  We weren't the only ones waiting and for now our wait is over.  I am so glad you are sharing it with us along the way. 

Ephesians 2:10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
