Wow! What a crazy year it has been! I am going to attemp to document our adoption journey, how it began and how I feel God led us down this path. I pray I can capture how He has worked and that I never come across as taking credit for any of His thoughts and goodness.
I was 16 years old. Pretty self centered and focused on growing up to be rich. I often would think about what I wanted to do with my life and I knew two things. I wanted people to like me and I wanted to be rich to purchase all the material things I wanted. : ) Pretty sad state I was in.
Christ captured my heart and He began to change me from the inside. I remember watching a documentary on orphans in Romania. The pictures are still vivid in my mind. Infants stacked on meat carts, 5 to a shelf like produce in a grocery store. Except these were live babies and my heart broke for them. Toddlers stared out from their crib void of emotion and reluctant to be held. In an instant, God started transforming this hard self-centered heart to a heart that broke for His children. Suddenly I wanted to help. I wanted to be part of the solution. This began the journey of finding where God was leading.
