Adoption is a beautiful picture of redemption. It is the Gospel in my living room.

God reminded me how beautiful we all are to Him, after all, we were created in His own image, and He looks at me, at you, in all our sweat and dirt and brokenness, and says, "I choose you. You are beautiful.

Adoption is a redemptive response to tragedy that happens in this broken world.

Do not forget in the darkness what you have been promised in the light.

Courage isn't about knowing the path, it's about taking the first step.

Every day I have spent in Uganda has been beautifully overwhelming; everywhere I have looked, raw, filthy, human need and brokenness have been on display, begging for someone to meet them, fix them. And even though I realize I cannot always mend or meet, I can enter in. I can enter into someone's pain and sit with them and know. This is Jesus. Not that He apologizes for the hard and the hurt, but that he enters in, He comes with us to the hard places. And so I continue to enter.

Adoption is a beautiful picture of redemption. It is the Gospel in my living room.
