A Waiting Family

This morning I woke up, went to my Keurig and made myself some coffee. I looked over at my desk and noticed that one of my memory verses had fallen. The verse was 1 Peter 1:6  “There is wonderful joy ahead.”. This passage is about the joy that comes from our salvation and the eternity believers will spend with our loving God after the trials of this earth.  When I saw that verse it spoke to me about adoption. I know that is taking it out of contexts a little, but adoption was on my mind because we had just received the news that we are on the waiting list! Dakota and I have WONDERFUL JOY ahead of us in the form of family! We are growing our family through adoption and with that comes so much happiness.

We are excited to be on the official waiting list! Our profile book will now be shown to expectant birth parents. This is another step that involves waiting and with that comes a practice of patience!

During our wait, we ask that you keep our child, their birth-parents and Dakota and I in your prayers. 

We have specific prayers that we are lifting up:

~For God to protect the expectant birth-mother and child from any harm

~For our birth-mother to have comfort during her pregnancy and with the upcoming decisions she   will be making

~For the salvation of our child’s birth-parents if they do not know the Lord already

~For the Lord to give us patience during this process

We also wanted to keep you updated on how close we are to completing our financial goal! We hit 83% this week! 

Thank you for following along with this journey. We have the best support system!                                 

Bekah and Dakota
