We Get To Be

Last Sunday I had the chance to briefly talk about our experience with adoption and how we felt God moving us. A "burning bush moment," if you will. The message in church was on Moses, going about his every day thing, minding his own business, and then God shows up in the form of a burning bush :) Haha. Makes me smile because I really feel like that's what happened to me/us in late January of this year. I have been made aware that I kind of just jumped into this blogging thing in the middle of our journey. Some of you don't know the whole backstory and want to (!). That will have to wait for another post because I have my sweet babe in my arms as I type and that's not one I can just quickly shoot out one handed...

Yesterday I was reminded by the Indigo Girls (love 'em) that, "We get to be a ripple in the water. We get to be a rock that's thrown." Somehow, by the grace of God (and I truly mean that because I was just a blubbering idiot up front and really don't even know what I said... sigh) my telling a little bit about our story touched some people and a few came up to me afterwards wanting to talk adoption in more detail. Kinda feel like God took us and threw us into the adoption water. If, through us stumbling towards obedience there are some ripples happening, then to God be all the glory! Nothing would make me happier than to see more children, birthmamas, and families of all types come to know the love of God more richly through adoption.
