Anticipation

Anticipation....this is the title for our church's series for the month of December.

This word could not describe more clearly the feeling we have had for a good part of the last 3 years. One of it's definitions is 'expectation or hope'.

Over three years ago we were living in hope of adopting Jivenson. We lived in anticipation of meeting him and when he was so sick, we lived in expectation of bringing him home via a medical visa so that he could receive much needed medical treatment.

With his passing, hope and expectation were crushed.

But two years ago, hope was renewed. God opened our eyes and hearts to a new story He was writing. The story of adopting one precious son, turned into a journey of adopting two. We never could have guessed this would be the future for our family.

Now it is here, all of the anticipation is transforming into the experience of actually completing the adoption process for our two amazing sons.

And now the real journey of our family of 6 begins....
