Personal Prayer Request
   God has blessed us so much.  Through God's leading we are currently contemplating a second adoption from the beautiful country of Ethiopia.  We ask that you please keep us in your prayers.  Please pray that we will do God's will.
 
 
Our Wish
 

   As with everything in life, God leads us and brings us to the ministry He wants us in.  But growing up or even as an adult, did you ever wonder what God wanted you to be or have you ever asked Him "What do you want from me Lord?". 

  We know there are some situations out there that make it impossible for certain families to adopt.  Their blessings lay elsewhere and God has amazing, fantastic ways for them to make a difference.  These are not ANY less important, in ANY way.  We want to make that clear.

   Our wish, though, is this.  We wish that every Christian would take a month of their life and pray, asking our Heavenly Father, if He wishes them to adopt. This is only one month.  He may very well say "No" and that he has another mission for you...other blessings. 

   We have been amazed when we ask questions of God, what His answers have been.  It's a little scary, when you’re not sure you want the answer.  This doesn't just apply to adoption, but have you ever asked God a question that you almost dreaded asking Him.  Have you ever asked something of Him that may not be easy?  Have you ever asked Him to help you to never be complacent or

comfortable in this world? 

    One Month is our wish, just one month.  There are so many children out there....even if just one person saw an answer they did not expect, one child's life would be changed forever.

   That is our wish.
