My thoughts and prayer for today

So, today I just feel the need to write how I'm feeling and share my prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father,  through the time we have had on our hands waiting for your timing and the question of the unknown of what to expect for your will for our lives.. I just pray you give us the wisdom to hear your voice above the crowd, when sometimes its so easy for that to get drowned out by others advice, and what the world thinks we should do or how we should feel.. Just the pressure of which direction to go and the decisions that go along with that.   I pray you lead our thoughts and hearts to your will only.   That is the only thing that matters to us.  We want to please you by walking in the very footsteps you have made for our lives.  Give us peace and rest.  "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  Jeremiah 29:11.  In Jesus name, Amen.

No matter what decisions we have to make in life or what is happening, whether it be adoption or any other matter its so easy to lose focus.  From the very beginning of our struggle with infertility all we ever wanted was what God wanted for us.. At the start when all this started happening, I felt we lost focus on that and things felt out of control, but I soon realized this is not how God intended us to live our lives.  He wants us to pour our hurts and burdens at the foot of the cross.  It says in the bible in Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”   So we stopped and regrouped and did just that.  We surrendered this whole thing at the foot of the cross and things have been much better with God at the center.  Even though there are good days and sad days in the waiting process, I know God has a plan and within that plan His first priority is to grow us and mature us within this process.  I think He is teaching me patience right now!!..Lol..But I'm glad I serve a big God, full of mercy and grace.

Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers.

Welcome to our journey..

Hi and welcome to our blog!

My husband and I met 9 years ago in June on the sandy beaches of  Fort Myers, Florida.  I am from Ohio and he is from Kentucky, both there for two different reasons.  I was there on vacation and he was there for a move.  We knew from the first day we met we were going to be together forever and God had purposed this very day for us!  What an amazing way to meet each other through the very hand of God.   About two years after we got married we started trying to have children but soon realized this journey would not be easy for us and after 5 years of very emotional, exhausting,  heart breaking times we came to the realization this wasn't the right road for us.  That God had something better in store.  As our hearts were healed from the only hand that could heal us..Gods.. and we found peace through our loss, we knew that adoption would be our way to a forever family.

Through this time we have seen Gods hand through it all.. Shaping us, molding our hearts and minds to feel and think like Jesus.  We will never regret any of our moments through this time because we have drawn closer to God and in that its all been worth it.  We have found His love is enough.

So we know this journey will be long and costly and we wanted to try to start funding for this early while we research agencies and options.  So if you find it in your hearts to donate to help us make our goal to parenthood we would surely be grateful. 

"My friends, Adoption is redemption. It’s costly, exhausting, expensive, and outrageous. Buying back lives costs so much. When Christ set out to redeem us, it killed Him. And when He redeems us, we can’t even really appreciate or comprehend it." Derek Loux"
