 The forwarded email arrived at the beginning of December. I was a work at home, homeschooling momma juggling a ten-month-old, two preschoolers, and two school-aged children. Our lives were full, exciting, and maybe just a tad chaotic. “In case you’re ready…” was the only line in the email. A good friend, who I met during our first adoption from foster care, had forwarded a flier for a little guy our state was recruiting a family for. I laughed hysterically, and immediately texted her. “Is this your way of offering to deliver coffee and provide child care for the next ten years? Because, clearly, it would be absolutely crazy for us to add a toddler to the mix here!”  Hop on over to Splashes of Joy to continue reading!

I clicked through to read the rest of this post and it's so beautiful. In this season as we talk about God With Us, I can't help but think about how God so faithfully orchestrated all of these events for this little boy to have a forever family. God is so faithful and so good and He knew (and knows) exactly what you all needed, even before you realized you needed it. Thank you for sharing your story! 11/30/2017 01:04:19 am
Amen to this! Our Savior is the author and perfecter of our faith - even in the challenging moments of an adoption journey (or any other). Thank you for sharing this to give light and hope to others and glory to the Lord. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
