Hope

I love the Internet. I love that people blog about their adoptions. It helps so many get through the drudgery of the paperwork and the waiting! I love reading blogs about Christ followers who have a heart for orphans.

But, today I heard a story about a teacher in an orphanage and her relationship with her students. It was not a heart warming story and it reminds me that these kids are in a position of vulnerability without a voice. These kids need to be loved, need to be cherished and need to know that they have hope. Their hope lies in Jesus Christ. People will fail them every time, but Jesus will love them eternally. God is bigger than their situation and He is sovereign. I want to share the love of Christ with these orphans. I want them to know that they mean something, that they are loved and that God believes they are worth Jesus dying on the cross.

God is bigger than the government here in the States and bigger than any government. He is Lord of lords and King of kings! My hope is in Him alone. These kids need this message. I thank those families who are there now and who have been inside the walls of the orphanages spreading the Gospel. Jesus is their hope.

Update

We haven't posted in a long time and wanted to update you. We are waiting on our I171H to come in. While we wait, we are getting POAs, medicals and other things completed. We truly hope to have the dossier all together by the end of the month. We have no idea if this is even possible, but that is our goal.

God has used the past few weeks to confirm for our family the purpose to which He has called us. We anxiously await the time we are in Ukraine to bring our children home!
