The First Piece of the Puzzle

Many of you know that stepping into this adoption journey is a huge leap of faith for our family. Somewhere along the way, I picked up and latched on to the idea that when something is God's will, it will be easy. He'll open doors, He'll bless the road with signs and wonders. I do believe that He chooses to work this way occasionally. But I also believe that often, the road we walk out of obedience is marked with difficulty and trial. It's that way because this world is broken and hurting.

But I think that another reason He allows the road to be difficult is because when we set out to be about His work, He wants us to stick closely to Him, to watch Him work, to rely wholly on His strength, and to be able to say, "Only by the Grace of God". All glory is His.

That's where we are. We believe that He has placed compassion for orphans in our hearts. We know that caring for the fatherless is not an option, but a mandate. We know that children need families. And we have plenty of room in our hearts for more children. 

We are ready to see some miracles! 


We don't know how God will do this, but we know He can! I have to admit, I am really excited to watch how this all unfolds. I can't wait to snuggle our little girl someday and tell her the story of how He got her home. I am thrilled to be a part of how He is demonstrating His love for her.

With that said, I'd like to present our first real fundraiser. We have purchased a 256 piece puzzle of the Ethiopian flag. Each piece is "for sale" for $10. If you choose to purchase a piece or pieces, your name or your family's name will be written on that piece. Our dream is to write a name on every single piece, put the puzzle together, and frame it in her room so that she can see with her own eyes just how many people wanted her, how she was loved before we even knew her name.
