The Next Step

Today we received our adoption packet from Children's Hope International.  Wow we are on information overload.   We are excited and a little scared at this moment to be honest.  Our next step will be starting and completing our home study.  Please pray for Gods ever lasting care and provisions during this time.  We are placing our faith totally on God right now.  We chose Live the Letters from Matthew 25:35-36 written above.   We look at these red letters from our bibles which are words our Lord Jesus said.  When you read on in Matthew 25:40 Christ says "Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me".   So in our families eyes Jesus is the weak, the hurting, the forgotten, the sick, the poor, the orphaned, the person we ignore on the side of the road asking for help, or could it be our neighbor next door.  For us it is the daughter in Africa that God has called us to raise, to love, and to nurture.  Many people will wonder why Ethiopia, why a girl, why that age, why why why.  The awnser is a simple because God said to us to go and do to the least of these.  We are saying Yes!!!!
