Jesse went to Abby's church's VBS in July. It was a Power Lab theme, and Jesse had a ... come on, you know it's coming ... BLAST!
It was a great opportunity for him to socialize with other kids in a semi-school setting, because summer is rapidly drawing to a close, and he's heading for pre-K next week!!!
Our job is to take that first step and let God do His part by seeing us through. We're learning that we can't leep ahead and plan it all NOW. God meets us one step at a time...
But God sent His Son so that we could have the opportunity to be adopted into His family. His Son came in mercy and intervened on our behalf when we were helpless. He bought back our empty lives. He redeemed us. He gave us His name. Everything He is and has becomes ours.
We've just returned from China with our 4-year-old boy! What a complete joy he is -- and how amazing his adjustment and adaptation to life in the States has been.
We are part of a small, awesome Baptist church in Maine, a tight-knit group that is absolutely tickled to be adding another member.
The Lord of hosts has sworn, saying, "Surely, just as I have intended so it has happened, and just as I have planned, so it will stand."

The Voice Of Adventure
by Max Lucado (borrowed from my friend Angel's web site)
There is a rawness and a wonder to life. Pursue it. Hunt for it. Sell out to get it.
Jesus says the options are clear. On one side there is the voice of safety. You can build a fire in the hearth, stay inside, and stay warm and dry and safe.
Or you can hear the voice of adventure—God’s adventure.
Instead of building a fire in your hearth, build a fire in your heart.
Follow God’s impulses. Adopt the child. Move overseas. Teach the class. Change careers. Run for office. Make a difference.
Don’t listen to the whines of those who have settled for a second-rate life and want you to do the same so they won’t feel guilty. Your goal is not to live long; it’s to live.
