We have so much to be thankful for during this Thanksgiving weekend.
God is amazing! Ever since Jason and I married in 1997, God has been preparing our hearts for adoption. The first time I can remember Him really shaking things up for us, was when He brought Sompit to our attention through Compassion International. A sweet 5 year old, with brown eyes you could lose yourself in, she tugged at our hearts to become her sponsor. We learned much about Thailand over the next few years and suddenly began the conversation about possibly adopting a little girl from Thailand one day. We talked about it, but you never think something that huge might actually happen. Right!?! Well, last year in February, the Lord put it on our hearts...it was time. We had a beautiful biological girl and boy, and now we were being called to go get that girl we talked about 9 years ago.
Which brings us to this moment. We are leaving for Thailand tomorrow to adopt our daughter, Maya Sunisa. And we get to meet Sompit while we're there. Isn't God good! It is so cool to see His plans coming together. We feel so fortunate to have been chosen for this journey and can't wait to begin our new life as a family of five. Praise God and may He receive all the glory.
See you in Bangkok!
