Thank you to all those who prayed for James last week! He is finally feeling better with no more numbness or blurred vision. We’re praising God!
This week, we willingly face a different set of challenges! We’re four becoming six! We fostered-to-adopt James and Sarah 4 years ago and God had plans for us to do it again (it’s a long story, but we had specifically told our licensing agency we were a closed home during the pandemic).
Tomorrow, twins (a boy and girl, turning 4 in October), will move into our home! They were born the exact day and year as the day we officially adopted James and Sarah!!! Finding that out was one of the many confirmations God gave us to “say yes” to fostering-to-adopt again.
We just took our foursome family photo the end of July, which I thought would be perfect for our Christmas card! I guess not… 😉
God continues to fulfill His purposes from the burden he placed on our hearts over 10 years ago about taking care of orphans.
Isaiah 1:17 Learn to do right; seek justice.
Defend the oppressed.
Take
up the cause of the fatherless;
plead the case of the widow.
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Will you please
pray for all 6 of us as we go this huge transition? It’s exciting and scary,
all at the same time!
