This is what the Lord says: “stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is and walk in it and you will find rest for your souls…”
Jeremiah 6:16
Two years ago we began a journey that had forever changed our lives. It was a journey that has tested us, stretched us farther than what was comfortable, strengthened our bond as a family and helped us grow in our walk with the Lord. Two years ago we began a journey to adopt a little girl from Ethiopia. Over the course of the past two years we have encountered more twists and turns then we ever imagined. But through the trials the one thing that remained strong and consistent was our belief that God has his hand in our adoption process. He gave us continued assurance through it all that we were filling his perfect will for our family.
Two years have passed and we want to share with you today that God has again brought us to a crossroad where we have the choice to stay in our comfort of what we thought would be for our family or to follow the new course God has presented to us. Because nothing about international adoption is comfortable and easy we chose to stand by the one who makes the impossible possible. Today we are here to share that while our hearts for adoption have not changed, the location has. As of this past week, God has lead us to putting in a transfer to adopt from China. While part of our hearts will always be in Ethiopia, God has made it clear the path for our family and we will continue on knowing he is the author and perfectly of our story.
We will continue to keep you updated on this process as we venture on our journey of bringing our daughter home.
