Elijah and the Widow 1 Kings 17:8-16 8 Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, 9 “Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you.” 10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, indeed a widow was there...
We reserve Tuesdays to share stories from some of our grant recipients. May you be blessed by their stories…. “Hey, hey, I’m going to be a big brother.” Those, the words of a 2 year old named Jacob to a restaurant manager on a spring 2011 evening that took his mom and dad by incredible surprise! No, we had no plans to re-insert our name into the hat as a waiting adoptive family. But God did! And with these words, a seed had been...
We reserve Tuesdays to share stories from some of our grant recipients. May you be blessed by their stories…. Our journey in building our family has continued to be one of surprise and joy. It was only 7 months ago when Sharon and I were talking about adoption again, having adopted a beautiful little girl 2 years earlier. Believing that God was leading us to once again grow our family and share His story of...
God has reminded me yet again of this simple truth. He is in control. I am not. In my last post I shared about how powerful God worked in my relationship with “T”, my daughter’s birth mom. I want to share a bit more of that story. One of the more difficult things in my life was having to say good bye to the woman I had known for only 15 days. It is amazing what...
What if love looks different than we expect or imagine? What if love is hard? What if many don't understand when love looks different? When we plan to become parents, we have a flood of emotions, including excitement! Particularly as adoptive parents, because let’s face it, no one accidentally becomes an adoptive parent.
We reserve Tuesdays to share stories from some of our grant recipients. May you be blessed by their stories…. Perhaps we were destined to adopt internationally. John is one of three kids and both of his siblings are adopted. They were adopted in the U.S. as infants because his parents were “unable” to have kids (until John came along several years later and surprised them!). Kristi has always been interested in other cultures and languages. In college that...
February 7th, our last full day in Russia, we loaded all of our supplies and gifts for the children onto three vans. We would travel 4 hours from where we had been staying to an orphanage, to meet the children we had been praying for. It felt surreal to me… God has given me such a heart for the orphans. Years ago I asked Him to break my heart for the things that break His and He...
I’m the one. I’m the kid that made them change the rules, and now your kids can no longer bring PB&J to school. I’m allergic to peanuts. I’m the one. I’m the kid that’s not so good at sports. I’m the kid that missed one too many balls and we lost the game. You know, the one that other parents are talking about? If only I didn’t play? I’m not so good at sports. I’m the one. I’m the kid that doesn’t have any...
