Why we are doing what we are doing....

So, we continue to get lots of questions about WHY we are adopting, and HOW we came to this decision. Our "motto" for our decision is the verse ""Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know and holds us responsible to act." Proverbs 24:12
It's that simple. God opened our eyes. From there, the decision was actually rather easy. A no-brainer, really. We would have NEVER thought we would adopt a child from Africa. But God opened our eyes, and we just aren't going to question His plans.

We are so excited. It's like when I was pregnant - wondering "what will she look like?", "what will she be like?". We love her and dream about her already. I love looking at that clock on this blog and seeing what time it is where she is, and wondering, "is she asleep right now?". We pray for her everyday. We are praying for her safety and her health. That God gets us to her at just the right time. Not a moment too soon...not a moment too late....HIS timing is always perfect.
