This is the heart of adoption.  Be a part of it!  

But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Galatians 4:4-6

You are the helper of the fatherless. LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more.

Psalms 10:14,17-18

Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you.

James 1:27

Father to the fatherless, defender of widows — this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families.

Psalms 68:5-6

Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows.

Isaiah 1:17

Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed. Yes, speak up for the poor and helpless, and see that they get justice.

Proverbs 31:8-9

"There is a solution, and it is Jesus Christ!" 

Fundraiser Photo Sessions!!!

Our next fundraiser is getting underway and I am super excited about this one!  Our dear Cousin Brittney and her awesome gift of photography are going to contribute her expertise of snapping pictures of YOUR littles!  That's right, she is going to do a day of mini sessions for your minis.

Brittney has started her own photography business in Bristol Tennessee and is going to contribute to the cause of helping us bring home our newest family member.  She's already had a lot of experience in the short time she's been in business because she's so talented.  I can't wait to see what she will come up with for these photo shoots.

If you are interested in having your children's pictures taken, we will be making appointments starting now, until all time slots are full.  The sessions will be Monday, July 22nd for whatever time you reserve. Act now, you won't want to miss this opportunity!!!

How blessed are those who seek Him...

As we wade through the details of all that still lies in front of us, I find myself a bit overwhelmed at the dollars and cents that we still owe in order to bring home our little Williams'.  I know the Lord is big and for Him this is no large task, however to my small little mind and faith I have to constantly keep the Word of God close at hand and read the reminders that He marked in His letter to His people about who He is and what He does, and how He provides, and sustains.

I have been studying through Psalm 119 and it is a constant reminder to walk in His ways and pursue Him earnestly, and how doing this yields a blessed life...not easy, but blessed.  My definition of blessed has also been thwarted a bit by the Word of God.  Blessings are not always the gifts and easy way of life we hope for, but the things that prove God's faithfulness to His children, the feeling of being satisfied in Him, or the constant reminder of how undeserving I am of His grace, yet how He abundantly gives it.  I am truly 'blessed' to look back over the last 27 years of my life and see how God used every detail of my life to mold me into what I am right at this very moment, and how He is using even this very moment of my life to continue to conform me to the image of Christ.

Our lives have been challenged tremendously since we began this process of adoption and we can only imagine that it's going to get a bit more challenging as we continue moving forward, but we so desire to see God glorified in and through our family by the way we demonstrate His love through this ENTIRE adventure.

So right now, in this very moment when I am struggling to see how all of these details are going to come together to make this work; the promises He's left me in His Word assure me that He will be faithful to complete the work He's started.  So on we go, waiting to see what He will do next.

These are my physical daily reminders of God's blessings.  They are so near and dear to me and I am so  undeserving, but most grateful!
