Thank You

Dear Friends,
We are so blessed that you care about us enough to walk with us through this journey. You guys are amazing. Please stand in the gap for us in prayer.
There are so many God-sized obstacles to be overcome, but we know he will do it. I think of where we started in the process two years ago with YoYo. Looking at his file, I thought Anna was crazy to want to request him and I thought that any agency would be crazy to think that we would be the best parents for him. I told Anna, "no one in their right mind would give us this boy. If God wants us to have him, nothing on earth can stop us from being selected for him."
Three days later, we were offered this beautiful, but frightfully damaged little boy. We were warned that it would be a life of surgeries and hardships. I couldn't imagine how to hold him, let alone play with him without injuring him. We were signing on for a life impossible difficulties and insurmountable financial ruin. But in the face of all that, God's voice was clear, "This is your son. No matter what the price, no matter what the odds. I will be faithful." Despite our uncertainty for what the future would look like, we had peace that God was about to do something that we couldn't even imagine.
And He has been true to His word. The super active, musical, athletic, healthy, genius of a boy that is asleep in the bedroom 15 foot from where I am sitting this moment, stands in stark contrast to the fragile child we had expected to exchange our way of life for. I've changed alright. I have to work out just to be able to keep up with him.
What can separate us from the love of God? Not insurmountable medical conditions, not financial burdens, not catastrophic earthquakes, not even my own fears and failings.
And so, we come to FX whose needs seem insurmountable, whose accommodation seems even more fiscally impossible, and an economic earthquake. Fear calls out that this is the wrong child, the wrong choice and the wrong time. But Faith remembers that this family is already built on God’s ability to do the impossible. Not just to heal YoYo, or to spare our lives, but to change my fearful heart.
We look forward to seeing God do what only he can imagine in our family, and in yours. Thanks for being here on the voyage.
