Adoption Sunday

We had the pleasure of visiting our Lithia church home, Fishhawk Fellowship, for Orphan Sunday this week, and were honored to stand up for those families "in waiting".

Adoption is a long process, and to make it manageable in our own heads, we tend to focus on the next form stamp; the next milestone; the "what happens when we FINALLY get them home".
Oh, but it was SO good for my heart to be reminded of why we started this journey in the first place.

God, the creator of heaven and earth, loves me.
He took me in, sins and all, and made me a part of His family!

We love, because He first loved us. 1 John 4:12

God called us to adopt, in His name... How could we say no?!?!

We forgot to take a picture Sunday, but I wanted to get a picture of all of us with our "Philippines" sign... thank goodness for camera timers!

Esme and Hope... we'll save the sign and take another picture when you get home!
