Big Things

What happens when you say yes to God? Big things happen...

As we have been continuing on our adoption journey, we’ve seen God do some amazing things. No surprises there. But the flip side of that coin is that He has also asked big things of us.

You know those old game shows where the person wins a big prize, I mean really big, like bigger than they can imagine? And then the host says, “But wait, there’s more! Tell them what else they’ve won, Bob.” That’s kind of our adoption journey.

We’re excited to let you know that we’ve been matched with a child. We feel like we’ve won the grand prize of life. We’ve been matched with the sweetest little boy. We’re not allowed to blog details about him yet, like pictures, but we would appreciate your prayers for him and us. 

“But wait, there’s more! Tell them what else they’ve won!”

As we have been seeking God throughout this process, it has become clear to us that we should adopt two children. (Yes, we are a little crazy.) So, we’re also pleased to share with you that we have been matched with a little girl as well. Two kids! We can’t wait to get both of them home.

Both our children are considered special needs, and in fact their needs are great. We’ll create a separate post to introduce each of them individually in more detail in a couple months when some more paperwork is finalized, but one thing that you can pray about now is that our daughter needs rather urgent medical care. We are looking in to a lot of options to expedite our adoption process, so please pray for guidance for us as you pray for their health.

God is in the business of doing big things when we say yes. We can’t express to you how much we value your generosity and we are so thankful for your prayers as we navigate this new journey He has us on. 

So what happens when you say yes to God? He says, “I am able to do immeasurably more than all you ask or imagine, according to my power that is at work within you.” (Ephesians 3:21, paraphrased)
