It’s been a year since I’ve posted. Can’t believe it’s been that long! So much has happened in that year. We have a new son….. and he’s almost 14 years old and he lives 5000 miles away right now! Now, if that hasn’t made you wonder what we’ve been up to, nothing probably will.
Last Spring the Lord led us to host a child through New Horizons for Children. http://www.newhorizonsforchildren.org/ We have been following this program for about 3 years. But this year, the Lord made it CLEAR he wanted us to participate. He even provide the funds in the way of a Christmas gift. Our son had a scholarship on him and the exact difference was what we had set aside for a family vacation from a Christmas gift we had been given. This person has no idea that they played such a big part in bringing our son into our lives and providing what the Lord was asking us to do. He arrived on June 25th about 12midnight. Within 3 days I knew he would always be a member of our family. He lived with us for 5 weeks, so long, but not nearly long enough. Every one of us in our family came independently to the conclusion that we wanted him with us forever. When he left on August 1st our hearts were broken. It has been a long journey since then, but we believe the Lord is asking us to Trust him and He will bring our son home in His timing. More later.
Meet our son!
