Two Mites

I have been constantly amazed of the past month with how much people have loved us.  Our family has felt love from all around the world.  People we have not talked to in many years, and in some cases, people we have never met, have been encouraging us on this adoption.  It could not have come at a better time.

When we first started putting together our paperwork things seemed like they were going by so quickly.  But, as time went on, things feel like they have slowed down.  Right now, as we wait for things to arrive in the mail and translations to finish, we are still encouraged and looking forward to the weeks/months to come.

In Luke 21 we have an account of a widow who gave two mites as an offering to the temple.  This seemingly insignificant offering Jesus said was more significant than that of the rich men of the time because this women gave all that she had for the glory of God.

I feel like this is how people are giving to help support our adoption.  I feel like there is not an abundance to go around, but some how people are finding a way to help support us.  It amazes me to see how incredibly gracious people and God are toward us.

So, this blog post is dedicated to each of you, who in one way or another have supported this adoption.  We have felt the prayer from all around the world, and we have seen the power of God displayed throughout this entire process thus far.  Thank you for giving, even when there is not much to give.  It really humbles me.  God bless.

P.S. - I look forward to being able to write an update about where we are in the adoption process...as soon as we make some progress... :)
