OUR STORY

“For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
~ Jeremiah 29:11


When Karl and I married ten years ago, we dreamed, like most couples, of having a family of our own someday-a little boy like him or a girl like me . . .

After seven years of trying to conceive, we have finally accepted that the way we wanted to become a family was not the way that God wanted to make us a family . . .
 
“ For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways”, declares the Lord. “As the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” ~Isaiah 55:8-9

We know in our hearts that God intends for us to be parents someday, in His time and in His way. Adoption is something that we said we would always consider. After an extremely difficult year, we finally decided that God would not want us to continue suffering this way, and that He was leading us to adopt. We know in our hearts that He has a little girl waiting for us in China-maybe even two!

It’s amazing how at peace we are after succumbing to God’s will. It’s as if an overwhelming weight has been lifted from our shoulders and our vision is finally clear. We are so excited about our new mission! God is good!
