"May the God of hope fill you with all peace and joy as you trust in Him."
Romans 15:13
And trust is exactly what we have been called to do. Here's our
story...
Sixteen years, two boys, and one husband with a very busy work
schedule - that was my life! Anyone who knows me knows that I have never felt
our family was complete, and my prayers were always that God would either change
Steve's heart or make mine content.
For many years, God has been working on both of us, but separately,
toward the path of adoption. However, it wasn't until last year when God brought
Steve to a job more suitable for our family that we began to realize what or who
our family was missing. And so begins our journey!
For as long as I can remember, I have tried to make "joy" the theme
of my life (although I am not always successful), because it is not dependent on
my circumstances, but on an internal peace created by a relationship with
Christ. Steve and I both feel "Joy" is the perfect name for this third little
person God is putting into our lives. We will call her Le which is Chinese for
"JOY." So, prayerfully within a year we will be matched with a little girl and
be headed to China to bring her home.
Much love,
Steve, Neely, Will, and Luke
