What's goin' on?
That's a good question. When we started this journey, we were sure we knew what we were doing, where God wanted us to adopt from and how he was going to get us there. But the reality was... we had absolutely no clue as to what we were doing (thank you to those of you who have let me ask a zillion questions) and then it occurred to us that God might want to get us there using a very different route from the one we planned.
Here's what we do know... we are called to adopt. we have completed a home study. we are open to whatever door God opens. God is continually changing us through the process. When our kids were born, I think I got a glimpse of unconditional love. Yesterday, I got a very small glimpse of redemption, what it might mean to redeem someone and change their name and their life and give them a new name and a new life. For more on that journey check out this post.
Our longing and our heart has been for Uganda, but yesterday God also revealed the need right here. That doesn't mean that we have made any changes, but it does mean that we are more open to God changing direction on us and in the process changing us.
So... all I can say is.... stayed tune, God's not done with us yet!
