Elijah is amazing and I shudder to think that I could have missed all of it if we hadn't so clearly heard God calling us to adoption. I grateful for the lessons we have learned (are learning) along the way and for the opportunity to see God's faithfulness in a very real way in our lives!

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  7. What a fun idea! Iam thankful for so many things this year…my sweet husband who is present in our home and in our lives. He sacrifices so much so that he can eat lunch at school with the boys, coach their teams and be an active role in their everyday lives.

    I am thankful for three sweet boys that God has given us to raise. They are bulls in a china store most days but I would have it no other way.

    So thankful that men and women are free to give orphans a home. A safe and loving home without regard to the color of their skin, where they will be cared for all their days.

    There are so many things I could list but these are on my mind today.

  12. I'm thankful for so many reasons to be thankful!! I don't even know where to begin. As I told Silas in the car today, "I'm thankful for Jesus, because if we didn't have Jesus we wouldn't have nothin'". I'm thankful that God called us to adoption and opened our eyes to the world. I'm thankful for my husband, big 2 year old son, and the one in my womb who is kicking me as I type.

I am thankful for Jesus dying on the cross, wonderful family, friends, friendships, our freedom, clean water, a beautiful home, being able to save an orphan and give life to a child and the list is to big to type on here. I actually sat at home last night and wrote my thankful list. I sat and just weeped over all that God has blessed our family with. Thank you lord for so many blessing!

  15. Hey Kari,

    I am so thankful for a God who continues to challenge us to rise up!! It doesn't matter who you are or where you are or what you are doing, God is a God who wants us to know Him more & more every day. For our family we answered the call to become career missionaries for the AG. That was a big step of faith, but God didn't stop calling us to do things for Him. Now we are stepping out & starting our adoption adventure:) I am so thankful & humble to be called of God to make a difference for Him in this crazy world. We can't wait to meet our future child!!!! God is sooooooo good!!!
