THE CALL

 

On December 2, 2004, I was attending Bible Study at Forest Hill Church. We had been studying Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby. That day I learned that if you feel God is calling you to something and you keep saying no, eventually he will ask someone who will say yes. That worried me. Greg and I had always felt like God had placed adoption on our hearts but for one reason or another we had never said yes. We had recently gone through the book The Purpose Driven Life with our church, Calvary. Every Sunday we would say the same thing: We think God’s purpose for us is to adopt one of His children. So, when I called Greg after my bible study December 2nd I told him of my concern. He said to me, “Do you know what I was going to give you for Christmas this year?" He said, “I was going to give you a card that said let’s go to China!” I knew after all these years he was ready and so was I.  We started the process the very next day on December 3rd. The confirmation that this was God’s plan for our family was overwhelming. We have no doubt that God has a daughter for us somewhere in China.
