~A Little About Us~

Robert and I have been married almost 7 years. He is a wonderful man. I am so blessed to have a great husband. His laugh lights up the room and his devotion to loving and serving God is more than words can describe. Our life has changed alot in 7 years. We were married in Canton in 2002 and lived in Florence, MS for 3 years. He worked for Atmos and I worked as a secretary. He felt God calling him back home to Kosciusko, so we packed up and moved! Talk about a change!

His friend, Chad, offered him a job in construction and we settled into our new life in KO. We'd been here almost a year and he was asked to fill in part time with the youth at our church. So he did, and God began to call him into full time ministry. He surrendered to the ministry in June of 2007 and was hired full time at Williamsville Baptist Church in February 2008.

Life really changed then for us both. We are so thankful for our family and our church! God has brought us through so many things in the past three years! He is always faithful to us!

I really started this blog to chronicle the biggest decision that Robert and I have ever made and to make known our struggles and hopefully our triumphs in the coming months. We have prayed for many years for a baby. In 2006, I had a miscarriage and since then have been unable to get pregnant. Through tears, prayers, and uncertainty about our future, we began to seek God's will for a child. We have always known that adoption was an option, but we've never taken any steps to really get the process started. Recently, we were given a gift from some dear friends and we felt it was time to get it going! We started our "adoption fund" and since then, God has provided. Adoption is very expensive, but we know that God will supply all our needs.

Our prayer now is that God will make His will known to us. We are still uncertain as to what country we will adopt from, but we are seriously looking into adopting from Thailand. We have only just started the process and we know it will be a WHILE before we actually have a child in our home. Please begin to pray for us. Pray God will provide financially and also pray for the child that we already know He has in store for us.

Adoption is the perfect picture of God's love for us. HE CHOSE US! What a blessing. Even in our sin and filth, HE CHOSE US!!! I was studying in Galatians one Sunday and came across this verse "Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, the Spirit who cries out ABBA, FATHER. So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir" Gal. 4:6&7. What a blessing!
