Our Growing Family: Adopting from Haiti

Adoption...it is an exciting and yet somewhat frightening path to follow. I've decided to create a blog to describe this journey for several reasons: to document our adoption process, to help others who may have some of the same questions and concerns that we have or once had, and to share our experiences with our friends and family.

Lord show me Your glory

It has been quite awhile since I last gave an update on our medical visa. I have to confess I've been sad and have not trusted God enough in these last few weeks. I've been obsessing and stressing over this whole finding an ENT to do the surgery and finding a doctor to provide Judson's post-op treatment (all of this must be donated for the medical visa), but God is faithful, and in my weakness His glory is revealed. I praise him every day that he doesn't forget me or my family.

Today I can say God has provided both of these physicians, and it wasn't anything I did. I have amazing friends and family who have helped me a great deal, but more than that God has taught me more about his incredible love for us. Thank you Jezi (Jesus in Creole).

Today I'm painting a bedroom for Joey and Judson. Joey is incredibly excited to share a room with his brother, so we are working on pulling that all together. I'm moving forward, knowing that God is in control and that His timing is perfect. This morning I read 2 Samuel 22. In this passage David gives glory to God for all he has done for him. It is a beautiful passage. I encourage you to pull out your Bible and read it. It's a great reminder of how much the Lord loves His people.

Well, my break is over. Time to get back to painting.
