We are all open books to be read by all men. I am sure you have heard the book title 'When God writes you love story' and heard sermons on letting God write your story. I love books and love to read about other's adventures and their lives! The thought that our lives are a story is exciting to me!
I was thinking about this adoption journey we have been on and how we got to this place. To begin the adoption process, there is A LOT of paperwork and interviews and tests and money and emotions!!!! I remember when we began moving towards adoption and hearing all the things it entailed, and the overwhelming feeling of "Can we do this?". It was right after I asked that question that every scripture I read was about adoption! In one day it was like God was saying "SURRENDER, I'VE GOT THIS!" So I began to research different types of adoption and foster care. I read about international, domestic, fostering to adopt and began to look up the difference between open and closed adoptions. Looking back, the more I surrendered and let God lead us, the clearer the journey became!
Today I can see how God used even the heartbreaks and disappointments to prepare us. I am so humbled and thankful that God is writing our story! We get to be apart of sweet Eliana's story! Written by GOD himself! All because we surrendered. It wasn't easy and there were days we did resist because of our emotions. I see now just the beginnings of this story unfolding! What a beautiful gift we are being given and what amazing role we have.
