"We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as
we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.
For in this hope we are saved.
But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has?
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."
Romans 8:22-25
Over the past year Jake and I (Katherine) have started to really wrap our minds around adoption. We are God's children...heirs...brothers and sisters of Christ...and all this because of adoption!
Out of our realization of our adoption into God's family and seeing the great need in our world to take care of orphans, we have decided to start the adoption journey!!
Crazy?
Yes.
Worth it?
Totally!
We hope through this blog to keep you all updated on our journey. We beg for your prayers and support through this time--it will be much needed.
Look to hear from us again soon with more details about where we are in the process.
Until then....
Peace, love and joy!
We are very excited for you guys! I love how God is using you!
