Our Story

So here is the story I promised.
Back in the summer of 2005, Harry and I sold a piece of property that he had been given as a boy for Christmas. We had talked and talked about what we would do with the money that we received. We both had big ideas for the money. I wanted to use the money for a downpayment on a bigger house, and he wanted to invest it. We were in the process of making a decision, when I was invited to a Steven Curtis Chapman concert. For any of you who have been to his concerts, you know that he does a big promo. for adoptions. I cried through the entire thing. Afterwards I filled out a card requesting more information. When the packet and DVD came we sat down to watch it and we both cried. I started feeling a tugging at my heart, but I didn't act on it.
A few days later,while making PB&J's for our three children, I felt the Lord telling me that He wanted us to adopt. He reminded me that this was His money, and He wanted us to use it to glorify Him. This money was to be used for something eternal, not something temporary and materialistic. So, I went to Harry and asked him to pray about it. He agreed. We prayed for a year and a half. Last August was when we both felt that, yes we should this. So we started the paperwork and our journey. It has not been easy, but we know that this is what God wants for us. He will give us our baby girl in his timing. So, for now we are resting in Him,and learning a great deal of patience.
Again we thank you all for your prayers.
