Tuesday Testimony is an opportunity for us to share some of our grant recipient's testimonies. May you be blessed by their stories. I have had a passion for adoption and caring for the orphan all of my life. I really think this stems from the fact that I was adopted and I always saw adoption as God’s plan for my life to get me to my family and ultimately, into His family. I married a man that I knew...
Music is sort of a foreign field to me. I took piano lessons and sang in choirs… oh, and there was that 1-year stint with my nemesis, Clarinet. But beyond the basics, I’m not too knowledgeable. However, when my 9-year-old is practicing her piano lesson, I can recognize a perfectly plucked melody… and my teeth grit when a disharmonious chord is struck. I much prefer the former of the two. I appreciate notes that meld...
I shouldn't be surprised. After all, Kayden has never been afraid to ask questions, and I've known for six and a half years this one would eventually come. So why did I stammer when today she said, "You're the best mom ever. The one who had me, did she love me?" Oh, my heart. I would love nothing more than to look into her beautiful eyes and tell...
My husband and I have adopted four children two and under and when we go on walks, we literally stop traffic. People literally slow down to stare at our family. (I’m sure those who have adopted know what I mean!). Anytime we go anywhere, people feel the liberty to stop us and tell us we are crazy for adopting four kids who are so young. But the truth is...
Tuesday Testimony is a time when we focus on testimonies of some of our grant recipients. May you be blessed by their stories. Believing strongly that children are a blessing from the Lord, we knew early in our marriage that we wanted to begin growing our family. In God's sovereignty, He allowed us to struggle with infertility as a means to open our eyes to the joys of adoption. Through the teachings at our church, observing...
Tuesday Testimony is a time when we focus on testimonies of some of our grant recipients. May you be blessed by their stories. On April 6th, 2009 our family completed our first adoption of a beautiful 2 day old baby boy born in Virginia. Beating the odds of his troubled beginnings, he is now a healthy, exuberant little boy, created in his Heavenly Father's beautiful image. However, our adoption journey did not end there. Because of our first adoption...
I heard a sermon one time that encouraged us to "argue with God in prayer" by appealing to his character. As we've gone through our adoption process, I found myself many times praying, "Lord, I know that you care about the orphan. You care about our kids who are in the orphanage right now without parents and I ask you to exercise your care for these fatherless children by causing...
Lord, just because the task is so overwhelming I know I can't do everything, please let that not keep me from doing something … Or cause me to do nothing.
Tuesday Testimony is a time when we focus on testimonies of some of our grant recipients. May you be blessed by their stories. We discussed the possibility of adopting before we married. After we had been married a couple of years, we trained at The Master’s Mission, hoping to enter remote missionary service. Following our year of training, God called us to serve His kingdom domestically through a local youth ministry and service in the local church. ...
I just wanted to share a picture book with you today that will resonate with us as adoptive parents and will also make our little ones smile and cuddle a little closer. A book is such a great way to open doors to talk more openly about our stories – and this one is no exception. I Wished for You by Marianne Richmond is sweet and yet so powerful. It is the tender story of a little bear asking...
