For those of you who may not know, Clay and I have once again made changes to the direction we are heading with adoption. We had the joyful pleasure of working as camp counselors at Royal Family Kids Camp this month. What a great experience to work with kids that have been abused and/or neglected and are currently in the foster care system. While we were at camp I felt like THIS IS WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING! That is crazy coming from someone who was dead set against adopting children through the foster to adopt system. From the beginning of this adoption process, the foster system was one of the first things we explored. Clay was game and I WAS NOT. My heart was changed at camp and I am looking forward to seeing how things progress. While we were at camp I felt like the Lord impressed it upon my heart that having children was NOT about me but all about showing HIS glory to these children he entrusts us with. Even if its for one day or for a life time, your (my) job is to show the love of Christ to this/these children. Most of you know this, as I did, in my head but not in my heart, till now.
We are praying for just one child for now, the one the Lord has planned for us, preferable an infant, and for him/her to be with us prior to Christmas! Please join in prayer with us.
May we walk in a way that is pleasing to the Lord!
