You were so sweet to post on our blog about having met our Abenezer. That's such a lovely surprise to find someone who has already met our babe! You seem like such a special young woman. Keep up with the blog so we can know what you're up to in your life! Thanks again for the comment!
I've so enjoyed reading your blog today! My husband and I are looking into Ethiopian adoption and found the link to your blog @ Gladney. I hope our oldest (10) will be as excited about a new (maybe even 2!) sibling as you are about yours!
I love Jesus Christ with all my heart. For reasons that I will never understand, He died to save me from my sins. I love Him because He first loved me. He says in Matthew 25:40 that He is "the least of these." He is the orphan and the widow and the poor and the hungry. I love Him and want to serve Him through serving the least.I have 8 siblings; 2 biological, 5 adopted, and one "unofficially adopted". Adoption has opened my eyes and changed my heart forever.
I have a new passion and what I have seen has broken me and changed my heart.
This started out as a journal of my trip to Ethiopia to bring home my 3 newest siblings but it has turned into much more. God has started me and my family on a whole new journey and it's crazy, exciting, hard and just plain God. Since we started adopting 6 years ago, God has taken me to Africa, China and Guatemala to care for and visit orphans. God has taught me so much through serving them and getting to know them and I hope to be able to give as much to them as they have to me.
