Hope

It feels as if we have been on our journey forever. I never really gave up hope that we'd return to this page in our life and write a new story, and now we are back at it trying our best and trusting God to lead us.

Liam will turn 5 in July, and that just amazes me. He is everything we hoped for and so much more. He tests us daily, he is a natural comedian, and the laughter he creates in our house and family does not end. If we aren't running around the house with nerf guns or light sabers, then we are off exploring some corner of the park near our house. He keeps us busy, guessing, and he is the most challenging yet rewarding aspect of our lives.

Recently my little brother and sister-in-law had their first child a little girl, and Liam just adores her. We spend most Sunday afternoons with my side, and Liam is beyond excited to go see "his baby." Then for the rest of the week, he continues to tell us how much he wants a baby. I think I am equally excited to one have a daughter, but also to see my little boy become a big brother.

Keith and I keep talking about it and planning. Saving a few dollars here and another there. It's a big cost, but God has been putting it on both our hearts, and we've been praying about it. It might take a little longer than we'd like. But if we learned anything with Liam's adoption it is that it's not our timing, but God's.
But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.  ~Isaiah 40:31~

 

Our first fundraiser if you can help, if not please share and pray for us! Thank you!
