1.43 million kids need a Mommy and Daddy

Justin and I attended an adoption seminary today at Providence Baptist Church. WOW, I didn't expect to be that emotional hearing the testimonies. Or to be that excited about the real practical ways there are to adopt! It is possible for all that are called to bring home a child to love. :)
Ohhhh...there are so many babies, kids, teens that have never had the experience of a mom/dad's hug!

I heard a quote, "If God calls, He WILL provide everything." This is something that we are going to pray about so that if He does call us at some point. We can say yes!

Anyway we are praying about how this might look in our family someday. We know that God has adopted us into his Grace/Kingdom. And what a picture we can be of showing this to another. They challenged us to simply pray that the Lord would at least open our heart to pray for the "widows and orphans".

May He be merciful and use us in many other precious lives.

WOW!! That is the first time that I have heard anything from you about adoption. That is really a new thing to be thinking about and what that would be.
