Waiting for Joy

We are waiting for Joy As many of our family and friends know, we are waiting for Joy. We are petitioning heaven for a chance to see God, but not in the way you might think. In October 2015 God began to speak to both Colin and I about abortion in America. Planned parenthood was in the news and everyone was talking about the millions of lives lost to this selfish act. But what could we do? As the Lord began to speak in the still quiet moments we had our answer. James 1:27 “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” How could we expect woman to choose life if they have no one to give their baby to? But we didn't stop there. We did research and found out that if each church just did a little, we could literally change the face of foster care in America. Our desire is to be the example for the bride of Christ. We can't expect others to open their homes or their wallets without doing so ourselves. So as we pray and thank the Lord for the little girl who we call Joy. We pray for her safety until she is home where she belongs. We pray that she feels loved and protected until her (very excited) older brothers can protect her ( and torment her)
