That support from total strangers is awesome. But the family that God has put together for you guys is even more awesome!!!!!! Teaching Our Kids to Pray - Blog Entry03 Jan 2007 06:01 PM Awesome article! I am glad you wrote about this, we could all use to be reminded of the important things in our daily walk as Christians (I know I sure needed to be reminded). This is an issue that I need to bring up again with our boys. Adoption Subsidy Payments - Blog Entry02 Jan 2007 05:20 PM Ed, I agree with your article. We are just in the beginning phases (waiting an eternity to get our home study scheduled) of adoption through the state, so I don't know that much about adoption subsidies. But I do know that what the state gives is a small part of what it would cost to keep that child in the system. I don't think there is anything wrong with adoptive parents getting a monthly payment to help raise the children that need homes, especially for a family that has taken in 5 boys!!!!! We are looking to adopt one child, I couldn't imagine having 5! Kudos to you and your wife!!!! Against All Odds - Blog Entry01 Jan 2007 09:38 PM I just don't get it..... how can sooooo many people care so little about the life that God created in them? I have not watched the news all weekend, so I had not heard this story that happened here in Dallas. Doesn't that Mom know how many people would love the chance to have, love and raise her baby? I am so thankful that Caleb's story has a positive outcome. Give that baby a great big hug for me tomorrow!!!!! And have a wonderful birthday celebration! A Small Group Makes a Big Impact - Blog Entry01 Jan 2007 09:29 PM That story gives me chills! What a wonderful blessing! We are in the process of adopting through the State. We have a family friend (that we also went to Church with) that adopted two children through the foster care system and that is where "our seed was planted". What a wonderful thing for that Church to foster/minister to, God's children!!! I wish there were more! Biblical Encouragement for Those in Waiting - Blog Entry31 Dec 2006 10:30 PM Thanks MJ! I needed to read this!!!!! Labor of the Heart - Blog Entry30 Dec 2006 10:21 PM MJ, I know this is an old article, but I just read it and it really speaks volumes to me. I am currently "laboring of the heart" and to be honest, I think it is MUCH harder than the physical labor I had with my 2 sons. Maybe it is that I have forgotten the "labor pains", but this "laboring of the heart" is one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. I am glad I read your article, you went through the same feelings that I am going through, and it is comforting to know that this is just part of the process. Maybe it is God's way of building a love in my heart soooo strong for our child to be. Thanks for helping me to see that!
