Thankfully, God's plans do not seem to be affected much by my own.

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.

Poverty is not a sin; it is a condition, a circumstance that allows God's work to be displayed.

Adoption is wonderful and beautiful and the greatest blessing I have ever experienced. Adoption is also difficult and painful. Adoption is a beautiful picture of redemption.

People tell me I am brave. People tell me I am strong. People tell me good job. Well here is the truth of it. I am really not that brave, I am not really that strong, and I am not doing anything spectacular. I am just doing what God called me to do as a follower of Him. Feed His sheep, do unto the least of His people.

Jesus called His followers to be a lot of things, but I have yet to find where He warned us to be safe.
