i have been adopted

I'll keep this short... but today I had the chance to watch a Great sermon on Adoption. I wanted to share with you all because I can't even put into words how true and powerful adoption is in ALL of our lives!

When sharing with others that Paul & I are in the process of adopting, many respond with the question or statement, "Oh you can't have children of your own?" And I try my best to explain how God has placed the desire in my heart to adopt and I've never even thought twice about having my own (at least not yet). I've never gone to bed dreaming of my own, I've never caught myself daydreaming about having my own but rather always catching myself wondering what my child will look like because he won't have any of my genes. He won't be my same skin color or have my nose or my eyes, but he'll have my heart! He'll still be mine and we'll have the same Heavenly Father.

You see, as Believers, we've all been adopted. Jesus paid a HIGH PRICE for each and everyone of us. He gave his life so that we could be adopted into the family of God. He gave it all! So to think about the price of international adoption... it's so minor compared to what my Savior gave for me.

Can we have children? Maybe, probably, not really sure... not really concerned about it and not even worried about it because God has a plan for our life and the perfect son already picked out for us.


I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well! Psalm 139:14
