This site will be used to keep our friends and family updated about our adoption journey. We are excited about God adding to our family through adoption!
We have been blessed with three children...Emma, our first born daughter, is 9 years old. William is almost 8 and Jonathan is a fiery 3 1/2 year old little boy. Denny and I joke that we would have had 10 kids if we had just met sooner. Of course we already live on the edge of crazy with just three so what's a few more??
Denny and I meeting is a story in itself. He saw me on TV forecasting the weekend weather and decided to just call me up. Yep... he stalked me and proudly admits it. It was obvious God's hand was in this from the beginning.
Our first meeting was a blind date and I didn't think it would go much further than that. Little did I know God had bigger plans. We both had quite a bit of past to work through, but again with God’s providence, Denny discovered a men’s Bible study and met our associate pastor whom quickly became our confidant, mentor and counselor. During that time, Denny and I grew closer, but more importantly I came to a saving faith in Christ. Through an extended engagement and commitment as a couple to honor God in our relationship, we came to understand that a successful life and marriage involved three people...Denny, me and Christ.
For He chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. Ephesians 1:4-6
His gift of grace we have so exceedingly experienced in our marriage, in the blessings and fears of raising our three children and soon to be in bringing home our fourth (or more :). May He be glorified.
Thank you for walking with us through this and thank you for your prayers.
