And away we go!

God is moving. I feel like I am standing on the edge of cliff ready to take the biggest and by far the most life altering dive of my life! How exciting to know that God will be there every second of the way down. Whew.

After many years of infertility and secondary infertility treatments, Todd and I have been called by God to adopt...internationally.....Ethiopia!

Seriously? ...........................Us?

But we're comfy here with our one, incredible, nine year old son, who now does everything for himself.

What are we thinking? God, what are you asking us to do? Get out of our comfort zone? Bring a child from another country with another culture that has different values and morals from us? So many fears......too many to count.

And God answered a resounding, "YES"!

There are SO many hoops to jump through. So many, that I get overwhelmed and it sucks all the joy out of thinking about the sweet child that will hopefully someday come to live with us and call us Mommy, Daddy and Brother. I know God is going before us and preparing the way.

You GO girl...God is FOR you and your family...what it (your family) is and what it will be! Cling to GRACE...past "graces" that the Lord has already bestowed upon you...and the awesome "future grace" that is to come! He is faithful to ALL His promises...whether through joy or trials. Looking forward to the journey...watching and waiting with you...an "advent" of sorts. May God grant peace and much grace!
Love you dearly sweet sista,
