I've wanted to write about our family's passionate pursuit of purpose......about my radical notions of orphan care and adoption as the responsibility of all who are believers and followers of Christ.....and also about the goofy, sticky, exhausting, day-to-day operations involved with keeping our sweet, surly, sassy kids clothed, fed, away from online sewage, and out the door on time each day for school. My goals are simple.
This is my first public anything.... and I'm nervous about sharing this kind of intimacy with anyone who stumbles upon this blog. I don't claim to have a success formula, and certainly would not want to give anyone the impression that we have it all together, or that we are special in any way. We are trying hard to listen to what God tells us, and to honor him with our lives.....we fail everyday, and we keep trying.
I hope to be authentic and to write what's real. I've decided just to trust, and allow this blog thing to roll.....
The first two posts I wrote have to do with our adoption process-- sort of a narrative timeline. I promise, I'll strive to liven things up as we go.
Wishing you blessings as you pursue your own pathway-- and if you are considering adoption, I'd love to hear from you-- it takes a village..... and a lot of other people think people like us are nuts.
So proud of you for doing this! Don't be shy! You are an inspiration!
