Back to the beginning

Why continue with this journey???  That is an easy thought when life apart from our adoption is grand and you don't HAVE to go on with this in uncertain process.

In and effort to remind myself why I am on this journey I need to go back to the beginning and remind myself why I am where I am.

Not everyone was called to adopt but I do truly feel this is something God has laid on my heart.

Here is to a series of remembering what brought me here.

Compassionate Christian living compels us to care for the orphans and to respond to the injustice levied upon millions of vulnerable children.

Our response does not mean that our lives will be pain free and without difficulty.  Perhaps in some cases, our lives will become more difficult.  And for some, their journey will become exceptionally hard and onerous.  Only the Lord knows.

What I am confident of is this biblical reality.  Our Father will reward those who live that righteous life.  He will replace what the "locusts have eaten" and He will redeem those who hear and respond to the cry of the orphan.
