On our Catalina post, my good friend left a comment about how fun it must be to watch Becky come out more & more. She could not be more right. Doug & I absolutely delight every day in how she is growing and "finding her true self". Hearing her laugh & talk, watching her dance - it brings joy to our hearts that is unmeasurable. Watching her blossom into the child she was designed to be through our adoption of her is the most amazing thing we have ever done.
It must be a small measure of how our Heavenly Father feels about us when we accept His invitation to be adopted into His family through inviting Jesus to be our Lord and Savior. How He must delight to watch us be transformed into His children - to grow into the people we were created to be in Him by Him. The joy we feel for Becky pales in comparison when compared to the joy our Heavenly Father feels for us as we walk & grow in His love.
Doug & I have become advocates for adoption through this process - but we can not forget to advocate for the most precious adoption of all. We pray that if you have not accepted the invitation of the Lord to be adopted into His family, you will seek Jesus and know that God is your Heavenly Father - waiting to delight in you!

AMEN! I was introduced to your site through the 3 Peanuts blog and am thankful for finding it :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are in the process of adopting from China as well. We have become advocates for adoption too, sharing our knowledge and experience with anyone who will listen. Sometimes I think our friends can explain what a LID or DTC is better than me!
I also feel closer to Him than I have ever before. He is my strength through this and is holding my daughter's hand for me until I can get to her!
Anyway, thank you this post :)
I am predestined to my adoption by God - Ephesians 1:5
I've enjoyed following your blog and keeping up with Becky. Our God is awesome and I love seeing how He is blessing these babies with loving forever families!
ReplyDeleteIsn't adoption just the perfect analogy for God's love for us?
ReplyDeleteKaren, that is the sweetest post I think I've read on a blog lately. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you posted that..when you said it to me on the phone it was so beautiful and rang so true yet I had never thought about that. I had never thought that by doing the right things I was delighting God. Karen, that is a profound message.
ReplyDeleteLove,
