BIG NEWS

We'll I'm in the process of sending out a letter to all our family and friends to make a great BIG announcement. WE ARE EXPECTING A BABY GIRL! Now, those of you who know us, before you pass out, let's clarify. We are adopting! We have taken the first baby steps in the adoption process. It's time to start blogging about it!
God is amazing. We've wanted to adopt for nearly three years now, and have been waiting on the timing of the Lord, and more recently waiting to get settled here in Kansas City! Then we meet these awesome friend, The Bohlender's, who have just adopted, and we got to walk through the tail end of baby Zoe's adoption with them! The minute we mentioned our desire to adopt, they were eager and waiting to help us walk out the process!
So, we have felt like we are to adopt a baby girl here in the states, and we are in the process of filling out mounds and mounds of paper work to get our homestudy completed! In addition we'll be working with an adoption consultant who will help find the baby God has already chosen for us! Before time began, He knew her, and knew she would be our daughter!

I'm sitting here amidst a stack of pink envelopes that are waiting to go out in the mail announcing the coming of our daughter! I feel pregnant in many ways. I am full of expectation for our daughter's arrival.

We know God's heart is in this, He so loves "the widow and the orphan", His heart is truely for the "fatherless", He is their defender! Would you please join us in prayer as we await our daughter's arrival. Pray for her safety. And pray that she would know she is loved and wanted. The Holy Spirit moved on John the Baptist in the womb, and I'm asking God to move in our daughter's heart even now so that she will feel the great love that the Father has for her, and the longing we have in our hearts to know and love her!

Stay tuned for many updates to come!
