Well this year for sure has had its ups and downs. Around May there was no light at the end of my very long and dark tunnel. I questioned if God could even hear me and my cries for an answer on whether to have children or not.
Well he answered around October! And gave us an amazing new idea of how to have kids! It wasn't the plan I had designed in my head, and it wasn't Jeremy's plan, but a whole new plan, which started our adoption journey.
As I mentioned earlier, we were considering embryo adoption, but after some thinking I don't think we will go that route. Not to discount that route at all, we just don't feel that is the answer for us at this point. We feel like God has called us to adopt a baby that is already born, or being born, that normally would not have had a chance. Take them in & show them the love of Jesus in a practical way. So we are just sticking with regular adoption right now. We also do not feel that Bethany is going to be the agency we go through, for several reasons. But the most being there are other options out there that are better for us as a family.
As we enter this new year we got an application for Family Life Services, which is the Liberty Godparent Home, an adoption agency here in Lynchburg. They are seeming to be very affordable & we will begin pursuing this option. If this one doesn't work out we are trusting another door will somehow open.
The biggest goal this year of 2010 is that He becomes greater in our lives & we become smaller, how ever that looks. We are trusting & holding on the the thing He has called us to, and that is to love a life, like He loved us. I'm so excited to see how this all pans out!
Happy New Year everyone & God Bless!
