Adoption Awareness Month

I have been so excited to follow Amy's journey to bringing Elijah home from Ethiopia! They just got their number on the waiting list......#26! What's amazing is that Amy's family is not just helping one child. There has been a ripple effect and others are being led to adopt too! God is amazing in that way, isn't He? It's easy for us to think, "what can I really do......how can I make a difference just by myself?" But, the awesome thing about God is that He will take what we can do and He will multiply that in ways that we can't even imagine!


I wanted to introduce you to my new friend Lauren. Her and her husband have decided to adopt from Ethiopia too! Amy and Lauren are blog friends and Amy decided to pray for them and God's will for them to adopt. At that same time, Lauren and her husband began to feel that God was leading them to adopt and she had no idea of Amy's prayers! You can read the amazing story here and you can visit Lauren's blog by clicking on their button:


It may not be in my future to adopt (trust me.....I've mentioned it several times to Morgan.....LOL!), but I can help others who are and then watch and see how God multiplies what little I can do into what amazing things He can do! I heard that November is also adoption awareness month, so if you feel led to help these sweet families out, I think that would be awesome!

I think I am on like Chapter 48 or so now and I just want to let you know how thankful I am that I was chosen for that book. It is really wonderful and has brought me to tears!
