A Call to New Beginnings

Our adoption journey first began almost six months ago when we first made the decision to contact AGAPE, our adoption agency. After much thought and prayer we simply felt adoption was something that we were being called to do. It is hard to put it exactly into words what that feeling is like when you are being called. I believe God, in combination with the Holy Spirit, simply places an intense yearning and desire on your heart. It is something you know without a doubt that you were made for. His call is something you know in your gut, and something you simply can't ignore. It is part of what He meant for you, and part of His predestined plan and purpose for your life. God created us uniquely designed for certain things He has planned. We need only to seek His will in our lives and allow Him to direct us and guide us. If you've ever received a calling like this, then you know exactly what I'm talking about here. How lucky are Philip and I that he has chosen us for this awesome opportunity and calling!? It scares me and amazes me to think about all the remarkable things He has planned for us and our family. Our God is an awesome God, great and marvelous are His ways!
