John 14:18

I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.  -John 14:18

So after a week of praying, and some discussion with our parents, we're finally ready to announce (drum roll please)....

We have been praying about ADOPTION! 

Now I'm sure you guys have tons of questions, like why we would want to adopt when we have 2 beautiful, healthy girls.  The answer is quite simple, this is the Lord's calling for us.  We have an abundance of love in our hearts and feel called to bring an orphan into our family.  This means so much more than you can even imagine - not only saving a child from poverty, but (prayerfully) saving their soul by bringing them into a Christian home, and leading them to Christ. 

I'm sure you have tons of other questions, and frankly, so do we.  Soon we will be chattng with our friends Fran & Eric Runner about their recent experience adopting Maggie.  You can read more about their story on their blog here.

So far we have seen lots of love and support from our family.  We are going to need lots of financial support too, so be sure to check out my facebook page Amber's Custom Gifts.  'Like' it, 'Share' it, and spread the love!

  3. Amazing! Romans 8:15... but we have been given the spirit of adoption where our hearts cry Abba, Father. I love you guys. It is awesome to know I have others in my family that hear God's voice. Please keep the blogs coming.
