The Power of Words

Image
Words have an incredible ability to lift, crush, support, hurt, love or heal the heart.  Today, as we went to church, love was delivered in an unusual healing manner.   And in the midst of picking up my children from their class, a sweet Chinese woman began admiring my adopted children after recognizing their shared heritage..... tears began to seep down her face.  She hugged me and thanked me dearly for loving them.   I could feel her soul was so touched by our children as she gazed deeply at them playing.   Adoption,  begins with brokenness and pain  ........becomes redeemed because of a great love.  Not our love.....Christ's LOVE.  We are weak and humbled as we raise children.   My only response was that this is what God calls us to and we simply love them.    Her gracious heart and deep gratitude for adoption warmed my soul for adoption should be a natural part of our family as God adopted us into His....

Formal adoption & Orphanage Visit

 We are some what of a tourist attraction to the locals here so we have learned to just go with it and call it our celebrity status.  I don't think it's our good looks-but purely the combination of children, hair and eye colors that have people really confused and guessing!  If we stay in one place for too long we have a a group of people surrounding us and taking pictures, so we have taken to taking pictures of them now too!  It gets most people smiling and everyone having a good time.  On a serious note- it's sad that people can not even imagine how our family could all possibly go together.

Adjustments to our new life

Adoption teaches us so much.  It teaches us that we can love those that did not grow under our heart for months but only in our hearts.  This little person can fill our home with such joy and excitement. She has learned to trust us with such love and endurement, like the love God has for us.  No strings attached.  Adoption teaches us how life is not about what we want, it is about loving and giving to others.  In the process of giving, we receive so much in return.  Adoption teaches us about how precious life is, and to appreciate how much we have truly been given.  Christ sacrificed his life; gave his life so that we might not pay the penalty of death for our sins.  When God asks us to give a little of us to serve the orphans or widows of this world, is he really asking that much? This little spirit is demanding, persistent and strong willed and why not, she survived in an orphanage for almost three years without a mother and father to support, d...
