Is she the one?

The Lord has brought a situation to our attention through Michelle Henderson. Their worship pastor is in the adoption process as well. They have already met their birth mother but their attorney and his wife have an agency called The Gift. They are working with a african american young lady (24 yrs old) that had planned to abort the baby she is carrying. She has now chose life (praise God for that!) and is looking for a family to place her baby girl that is to be born in the spring with. She desires her to have siblings. Michelle called last week and said, "I had the most random conversation today with my worship pastors wife. She ask if I knew anyone who is interested in adopting?" Michelle told her, "as a matter of fact I do." She continue by saying, "in particular an african american little girl." Michelle told her it didn't matter to us what they look like. :) Then, she called me with the information to call. That was on Tuesday last week. With Christmas this last week things have been a bit crazy. We finally made the call today. It went awesome. When they found out Jerry is a pastor they told him that they waive the fee for pastors. We aren't sure what that means and what fees that covers. Jerry was able to talk to both the attorney and his wife who is running the agency they have. They are working closely with this momma. She even spent Christmas with them. We need direction from the Lord what to do. Is this possibly the plan He has for us? So many questions. I love, love, love our agency so I really want to walk through this with them. Or did He use them as the means to get us where we are today? Can't wait to see how He works and His plan revealed!!!!

Baked Goods to Help with Adoption

This is something some dear friends and members of our church are doing on our behalf. We are so blessed with such awesome friends and an amazing church family! The family runs a bakery out of their house. Check their website out...

The Witham family serves the Carrollton area through
pastoring The Ridge Church. Their family of 5 wants to
add one more sweet baby to love and cherish. The cost
associated with bringing the fatherless into a loving
family can be extensive. Because of this Kupwiches and
More By Mande K is partnering together with The
Witham family to raise money toward their adoption. During the months
of December and January 10% of your purchases will go
to their adoption fund. Please mention The Witham
family when placing your order.

Home Study Update

The home study went great! Now we continue to wait on the Lord as He leads and directs our steps.

Home study

Usually this time is spent decking the halls and walls with Christmas decorations, plugging in lots of lights, setting out anything we can find to celebrate this time of year. It's a bit different for us this year. Oh yes, we are still celebrating and embracing every bit of this season but just a little differently. We are unplugging lights and scentsy candles and replacing them with plug covers and putting away cords as much as possible. We have our home study in just a bit. We wait for the doorbell to ring with just as much anticipation as a little kiddo waiting for presents (or Santa's arrival for some). I can hardly stand it! It's one step closer to see what the Lord has in store for our family.


I can't help but think of the sacrifice Christ paid for us because of His great love for us. This also makes me think of the amazing love a sweet momma will have for her baby by choosing to place it and give it life. Wow! Wow! Wow! Pray for us as we continue this great journey we are thrilled to get to be part of.


Enjoy this wonderful time of year reflecting on the amazing love your Father has for you! NO stings attached, no cords in the way, no gates blocking you from Him, no mess to big....just come on.
