Hello!
I have been thinking and wanting to start a blog for awhile now but
never got around to doing it. As Cory and I (well really Oliver too)
start a new journey in our lives I feel like its a perfect time to start
a blog. Mainly because we will need LOTS of prayers, encouragement and
I am sure help along the way of our adventure. I am truly blessed and
excited to see what God has for us as a family.
Before Cory even asked me to marry him we talked about the future, what
can I say I knew I was going to marry him 4 weeks into dating ha. We
both shared a passion for children and wanting children and becoming
foster parents (and adoption too). Since I was a teenager I have
dreamed about becoming a mother and having children of my own to love.
As a teenager I also had a calling to one day become a foster mother.
When I meet the man I was to marry I wanted to make sure he shared the
same dream as I did, wanting a family and probably a big family!
I have prayed for years and years for God to use me wherever He wanted
me, which of course I prayed extra hard for it to be somewhere over
seas. God has shown Cory and I we are right where he wants us Austin
Texas. God has given us a heart to open our home, open our home and
lives to another human we don't even know yet. God has already blessed
us with Oliver and he is more then we could have ever asked for. We
want to share that love we have for Oliver with children who may never
see that. A love of a Father who died for them and wants to adopted
them into HIS home.
Cory and I have prayed for this for a long time now and we have watched
God move our hearts to where they are now. Next step more prayer of
course then on November 8 we will be attending a two hour conference to
see where God will lead us next. I couldn't be more excited (and
scared) I am sure I speak for Cory too, we are ready!
Thanks for reading my first blog stay toned for new updates!
So very excited! This has been on Clays and my heart as well. Adoption. Honestly it frightens me a little. Will add this to our prayers for you guys. Can't wait to watch your journey unfold!!!
