Wow! So much has happened since my last post. I went to India in November to continue our ongoing mission work there. God did some amazing things during our time there. In most of the villages that we went to, we were the first Americans that they had ever seen. For those that know me, just let that thought sink it:-). It's been almost a month since we got home and I am still trying to process all that took place. Although the trip had the same format as other trips, it was definitely different from the rest. For during this trip, I found myself looking at every child that we came across and wondering what our son would look like. The good news is that every child I saw was absolutely beautiful. When we went into Hindu homes and shared the gospel with whole families, my mind raced ahead to a time where we will be able to share the gospel with our son! I truly cannot wait for the day that we go to India for the purpose of bringing home the child that God has for us!
The moment that our flight landed in Atlanta, I got a text from Misti telling me that we were beginning our Home Study the next day. Apparently our Social Worker was going to be in Jacksonville and wanted to go ahead and get the process started. Although my body and mind were completely confused, the visit went very well (at least I think it did). We have now had two visits with our social worker and we are really excited to see what the next few months will look like. We cannot wait to have our Home Study complete and to eventually be put on the wait list for a child. Although we understand the this could be a long and difficult journey, we are encouraged any time we are able to take a step forward.
We thank you so much for your continued prayers and support for us in this journey. #ADOPTIONISREDEMPTION
