Fact #4 About Adoption

There are more orphans in Sub-Saharan Africa 

than children in Denmark, Sweden, Ireland, Norway and Canada combined.

Fact #3 About Adoption

If 1 family in every 3 churches in the US adopted a child, we would adopt every child in need of a family in the US.

Matthew 18:5 - "And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me."

John 11:52 -  "And not only for that nation, but to bring together and unite all the children of God scattered around the world."

James 1:27 - "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."

This has been tugging on my heart this week as we were asked to pray over our "circled prayers" at chapel, these things we were supposed to be focusing on for 21 days.  I realized that there is a bigger reason behind why Ryne and I have chosen to adopt.  We are called.  God has called us all.  I can not wait to adopt. I can not wait to be a wife.  I can not wait to have a family.  

God is so good.
