He knows the plans He has for you!

October 28, 2005 we began the process to adopt from China!

It's amazing to realize that five years has gone by since we applied to AWAA and began the process to adopt Marisa.  So much has happened since then.  Most notably, we went to Rwanda and adopted Kieran!  God knows the end from the beginning.  He put us on the path to China knowing that it would also lead to Rwanda.  One of our favorite verses is: " 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you. plans to give you hope and a future.' " Jeremiah 29:11 There are always going to be things in this life that don't make sense.  Trust God that He will bring good out of the hard things.  Waiting five years was hard.  God has done a lot of character building in us during that time.  He's also blessed us with a son.  We are so grateful for God's timing and His blessings.  


October 2010.  Older and maybe a little wiser.
