We spent the weekend with family, celebrating our country and remembering those who gave their lives so that we could be free. And this year of course was especially memorable for us, as we watched a child who lived free for the first time. Here she is in her daddy’s arms before we all came home.
After long last, we have our daughter in our arms. She is amazing and lovely, and we are so grateful for this opportunity. Throughout our trip, we thought of many of you…when we gave donated items to the orphanage, when we thought of the many prayers prayed for her and us over the years…you have truly been with us on our entire journey. Now we eagerly look forward to our future together, with all of our children.
We are a living example that God keeps His promises, no matter how impossible they may seem. We waited 11 years for our daughter, many of them joyful, many of them difficult. Yes, we had people suggest we give up. We had people tell us to just give money instead of adopting. We had people say we were crazy for adopting. Hold onto your calling, my friends. I guarantee you that people will try to discourage you. It may not be easy. Don’t let go. What God has spoken to you, He will bring to pass.
“My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness…on Christ the Solid Rock I stand. All other ground is sinking sand.”
