1, 2......3!

Well, so here it goes....for about 3 years now my husband and I have felt the push to do something pretty drastic. God has been telling us that we are suppose to be doing more with our family and our life. Something that will knock our socks off with blessings but cause others to question us, look at us, and worry about us. Something that is so not of this "world" but through Christ alone will be possible and fulfilled. Are you curious yet? :)

We have decided that we are going to adopt a third child into our family from Ethiopia. Yes, we have two amazing, smart, beautiful (on and on and on) children already, but God is not finished with our family yet. He says we need to do more....to love more....to take care of more....to be His hands and feet more. So we begin. We are just beginning this journey of acceptance letters, home studies, paper work, travel, shots, planning....loving. And I mean that sincerely. I don't even know if we will receive a boy or girl (we are not specifying) but I know that I already LOVE them. My hearts pounds every time I watch my kids play and picture another one right in the middle of them. My eyes tear when I watch them with their daddy and know that another child is going to get the blessing of feeling that love, comfort and safety from their daddy. To say I'm excited is putting it mildly. Do I think it will be easy, always fun or without risk? Absolutely not. But I can tell you that obedience is freeing and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity.

Alright....there you go. A new season has started for our family and life will never be the same. Praise the LORD!!! :)
