In May I found out that I would have another sibling. That him or her would be from Africa. I was so excited, I thought 3 SIBLINGS!! Now November, we have done paperwork, rummage sales, trips, and made sacrifices.
Philippians 4:13 says I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
(It's on my wall in my room)
So I believe that God has placed a lot of strength in us and has made our family strong.
Ephesians 1:5 says he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.
I think since we have started adopting all of our family has grown a lot closer to him. Alex has been like a rope pulling us closer and closer to her and to him.
Every night at dinner this month we have been stating what we are thankful for; daddy and mommy are thankful for our family, me for family and friends, Delaney for Jesus, and every night Genna for ALEX!!!
Finally I want to share one of my favorite verses.
Jesus says my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in WEAKNESS.
2Corinthians 12:9
That means to me even though the adoption might be hard, in the end our power in the adoption will end up almost perfect through Christ!
Thanks, Gracie (11)
