Love Is...

It has been too, too long since we've updated this blog with our adoption journey progress.  First the holidays and then immediately following we were ushered full paced into the home study documentation - what a ride the past 7 weeks have been. 


I'm so very pleased to be able to say that we are virtually done with the home study.  All paperwork has been submitted and proofing occurs later this week.  WHEW!!!  Late nights, last minute emailing, phone calls, and forms upon forms upon forms to fill out, have notarized, and shipped off.  In all of the commotion my bride and I began to seriously stress about a fund raiser we were hoping to put on in mid-February.  Our full energies and finances had been focal on the home study to the point that our sleep is filled with dreams of paperwork.  This left little room for planning a fund raiser post holidays.  At one point we simply broke down...


...And friends noticed.  It is amazing when God puts people in your life, not just to have fun with, not just to gather over a grill or a meal with - but who have bonded with your soul, with your life, and share a common spirit and heart for the hurting.  These amazing people quickly huddled around us, told us they were taking the baton, and we weren't invited to carry it.  The result is something that is far more effective, far more amazing than anything my bride and I would have come up with on our own.  Simply, it is God in motion through people - something he desires to exercise through each of us. 


And now we have a fund raiser coming to fruition.  We hope many will join us, not just for their ability to partner with us financially, but to witness the hand of God moving and working to exercise redemption and ransom...to watch God's saving grace save life.  That my bride and I get to participate in this ride is beyond our ability to articulate.  We have simply committed to being willing.  When we give Him our five loaves and two fish, it's amazing to watch the multitudes fed...


Join us, and witness what Love Is.
