| Introduction | I'm a sinner, saved by grace. I was adopted by my heavenly Father when I was in college. The Lord radically changed my heart and gave me desires and passions I never could have stirred up on my own! I spend each day striving to glorify Him in all I do, failing, being forgiven, and receiving His fresh mercies each day. I'm married to an amazing man of God who shows me Christ's love daily. We were married in April 2003. In 2005 we adopted our first 2 children, Little Man and Bear. Six months later, we got pregnant with Turkey Lurkey who was born Sept 06. In April of 08 the Lord gave us Sixeight. And our newest addition is Bitty from Uganda. I'm a stay at home mom to these amazing kids who continually show me my need for Jesus and His precious love for us. We are passionate about adoption because God is passionate about adoption. He saved us, by grace, and gave us the spirit of adoption. He also commands us to care for the orphans and the widow - James 1:27. This has become a 'life verse' for us - we feel we have been called to grow our family through the spirit of adoption for the glory of our Savior and our great joy!!! |
