the hard part for me has been examining my own heart. wrestling through issues that aren't talked about much in my circles. issues of race and culture and special needs kids. issues os money and faith. i am learning to listen to where the Lord is directing our hearts, and i am having my heart sifted. i have discovered fears, prejudices and anxieties that are not of the Lord in my heart and have had much room to repent...and to show that i am "changing directions" (the meaning of repent) by the boxes i check on endless forms.
we have been led clearly away from adopting from the philippines for now. we have found an agency that i am quickly falling in love with and are getting to start the process over with them. so instead of a 2-3 year old child from the philippines, it looks like we might be getting a baby from the states. only He knows. and man, what a comfort His sovereignty has been through the journey. i'll try to do better about letting you know where we are in the process, but i'm not making any promises. :)

Amy, We started with CC as well and fell in love with Iris and her staff. However, we have switched to DHR but there's a great family in our church that you may have already met at many of the group-wide meetings. They just started their home assessments and have turned in their profile/scrapbook. I'll be praying for your journey!
jawan, i didn't know you guys were adopting! that's awesome. where are you in the process?
Please do keep us posted. I've been wondering about this for a while. It's good to see you blogging again! :) I love to hear from you!
