I have seen this video buzzing around lately and I was hesitant to post it. For one because as I've said many times, I don't think every Christian is called to adopt and I never want to insinuate that I do. However, I do think a lot are being called but are not doing it. So the question is, why not? My guess is the same reasons we delayed in answering the call. Which by the way.... a friend recently reminded me that delayed obedience is simply disobedience. Anyway, we had a list of reasons why we thought adoption was not for us. As we laid each of our objections before the Lord, He marked every last one off the list for us.
I encourage you to watch this video and then make a list of why adoption is not for you. Pray over your list and let the Lord do what He pleases with your objections. I've heard my husband say many times that he had a mental list a mile long of why we should not adopt but when he finally took "himself" out of the equation his list fell apart. This is when the Lord began showing us that our lives are not our own. Give your list to God and see what He thinks about it :)
Welcome to our family's blog. I am Polly, wife to one amazing man named Shawn. Together we have 7 biological children. The most important thing about me is that through the blood of Jesus, I am a daughter of the one and only God. I know that my purpose in life is to bring glory to HIS Name and encourage our children to do the same. We asked the LORD to break our hearts for what breaks HIS... and HE Has! As a family, we try to remember daily that "our lives are not our own". By following our blog, I hope you will see some of the things God is up to at our house and it's my prayer that it always brings honor to His name. We also ask that you join us in prayer as we journey to our daughter in Ethiopia. To HIM be all glory!
