We received a God-timed envelop in the mail yesterday. It was a very generous, anonymous donation to our adoption fund. To the friend(s) who sent us this gift: thank you does not begin to express our gratitude and thankfulness. We have both been experiencing spiritual warfare ever since we began pursuing this adoption, and this gift has encouraged us in much needed ways.
Each and every gift, however big or small, helps us move closer to our goal, but each gift is also more to us than that. It is also an exclamation mark from God saying, "Keep going!" Not everyone is in a position to adopt a child, but everyone can have a part in a family's adoption: whether that means giving to the adoption costs, donating an item that can be sold for adoption costs, becoming a prayer warrior for an adopting family, or simply sending a text or email with encouraging words or scripture.
Our calling to adopt hinges on the gift of salvation we have received in Christ, and we pray we will be living that out to all who hear our story. We are so humbled and privileged for the opportunity to live out the gospel in adoption. Thank you for being a part of this journey!
