It's hard to believe I left for Ghana one month ago today. I'm so thankful Jehovah has allowed me to spend the past thirty days caring for these precious children. There's no place I'd rather be than where Jehovah takes me, and I'm so glad He has placed me here to live and serve for three months! It's not always fun, it's not always easy, it's not always desirable, but I LOVE getting to share Jesus with these kiddos.
I've had the opportunity to meet several adopting families this month, and I look forward to meeting more in the coming weeks. It's such a wonderful experience getting to see parents meet their new children for the first time. Last week, I saw a father embrace his son with open arms for the first time ever. It's such a gift to see God's glorious picture of adoption put on display. :)
"He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will, to the praise of His glorious grace, with which He has blessed us in the Beloved." Ephesians 1:5-6
"For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe. He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing." Deuteronomy 10:17-18
This month has been a wonderful adventure, and I'm excited to see what the Lord has planned for the next two! Please be praying He continues to provide strength to make it through each day.
Soli Deo Gloria!
