Opening the door to China

Revelation 3:8 Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut.

 Brandon and I have decided to put in our application for Lifeline Adoption.

 We are applying for the Special Needs China program. We are putting our trust in God that he will help guide us through this process. We looked long and hard at all the adoption options both domestic and international.

“Why international adoption?”
And again, that is what God has placed on our hearts. We can’t explain it. To me an orphan, whether in the US or in a foreign county, needs a home. God created the whole world, not just the United States of America. The same way that you just knew that your spouse was “The One,” we know that our child is in China. Isaiah 55:8-9: “My thoughts are completely different from yours,” says the LORD. “And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine. For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.” We are ridiculously excited to get the process started. I am already amazed at how God is changing my heart. We feel so blessed to have been called to such an amazing path. We want to be open and inviting to anyone who has questions. We are learning the answers to many of the questions ourselves, but we are happy to share our journey with you. I know that God’s path for us will be even better than we can imagine. We are coming for you beautiful girl!
Now back to the paperwork!
