But for today, I choose.....

     Every minute of our lives we make choices.  Some choices have immediate effects, some are long-term.  Some choices benefits us, some harm us.  Some choices come natural, some choices require years of discernment.  But for today, I choose "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."  Joshua 24:15
     We are excited to announce our journey of adoption. God has allowed us to choose to be in our comfort zone for fourteen years.  Much of our lives have followed "the plan."  It wasn't till a few years ago that I realized it was my plan, and God had only fit nicely into it.  Things came to a screeching halt and I begin asking the dangerous question, "What do you want for my life, God?"  Those plans were beyond my imagination, beyond my comprehension, and beyond my capabilities.... all confirming that those plans weren't mine.  So today, I am choosing to follow God's plans for my life and my family's life and reveal His story of adoption. 
    I pray that you join us in this journey of stepping out of our comfort zone and really treasuring all that God has done, embracing all that He is doing, and praising Him for what He is going to do. I pray that I may be authentic and transparent in sharing our story.  I know that if I am transparent, it will be much easier for you to see God's story and give Him the proper glory.
     So, this is God's story.  And today I choose... to share it.
