It's so easy to get overwhelmed by life. It's so easy to forget. Yesterday I was grieved and unsettled and overwhelmed. But today God reminded me. Why I'm here, what's important, what I'm fighting for, what His heart is for. His heart is for so many things but one that he has shared with me is adoption. It's seeing orphans in family. It's seeing people doing what they were created for. It's seeing others come alive in Christ.
The first time God gave me a glimpse of his heart for orphans was when I was 20, that was 15 years ago. I spent 6 weeks in an orphanage living and breathing the most beautiful children and people. It was the first time I felt the deep love of God for myself and the fatherless.
I left those 10 year old boys and ached for the families they would not have.
That was the beginning. I'm so amazed that I am still on this road and that all along the way God has been putting dreams in my heart that are coming true!
Adopting 2 kids, watching praying and waiting for others bringing orphans into family
Watching God use Roosters who cry hope, and then give that hope away
Building a family, giving me a voice
But there is a revival in my heart for more.
It's time
