Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27

Faith

I'm steeling this verse from some friends of ours, but they are going through the same journey as us so I don't think they'll mind.

Faith is the confidence that what we hope
for will happen; it gives us assurance
about the things we cannot see.
Hebrews 11:1

We spent Saturday evening at BridgeStone. We met an awesome couple, the Grekos. They went to Ukraine in August and adopted their son, Sasha. He is 13 and he is adjusting so well. He is speaking a good bit of English, he calls them mom & dad, and he really seems to love his new brother & sisters. We got a lot of good information from them about what its like over in Ukraine. Sounds like we'll have a little bit of culture shock. There won't be the same kind of conveniences there that we're used to having. No matter, after talking with them and getting to spend time with Sasha, we're more excited than ever. It really made us miss the boys. It took the Grekos about 7 months to go through the adoption process and that's about what we're looking at. It just FEELS like FOREVER! That's why I stole that verse. I'm going to look at it everyday. This journey has an end, we just have to keep the faith that God will see us through.
