No doubt, judging from your response, everyone is just as overjoyed as we are
that Susanna’s family found her.
We serve such a powerful and mighty God.
On a super exciting note, Susanna’s mom, Kristin,
has a blog and she has invited everyone to join in their journey
to both Susanna and “Will”.
Her post is already up sharing the start of the journey and
Kristin shared something so profound in it regarding their decision
making process
about whether to go forward with pursing Susanna:
On Sunday I told Keith, “I have reasons not to move forward,
but not one of them can be supported by scripture
and they all have to do with me.”
He said, “Same here. We move forward.”
Can you imagine what would happen if we made
every single decision asking this question:
“Can my decision to _______ be supported by scripture?”
Kristin’s words struck me in such a powerful way,
what would happen if we really lived with that question
in the forefront of our minds every single day.
If we really lived our lives with the support of
scripture always in our forefront,
think of how our world would be different.
Hunger would be no more. Not because of some
government program, but because every decision we made,
we asked, “Can my decision be supported by scripture?”
And homelessness would not be a word.
And marriages would remain intact.
Can you imagine if we asked each time we opened our mouths
to speak, “Are my words supported by scripture?”
And gossip would not wreak havoc.
And counseling office would be empty.
And friends would not part ways.
“Are my life choices supported by scripture?”
And every orphanage around the world would be empty.
If only.
If only.
Such powerful words for my heart to ponder.
********************
You are invited to joyfully and prayerfully
follow Susanna and Will’s journey home.
And from the bottom of my hearts dear friends,
thank you for sharing a part already through prayer
in bringing Susanna {and “Will” home}….
let’s pray and help bring them all the way home…
Wow- that truly just rocked my world!

So good! Just read this post and the last one! Cried, rejoiced!
We are just beginning to adopt, as well. And it's not what we planned, but God is answering a lot of prayers that have been made on behalf of this boy. (When I discovered this, I was so humbled that God would think to answer prayers with our family.)
Anyhow, our first adoption. He is a child with special needs. And they said it so perfectly. Any reason we would have to not adopt him, would just be us trying to justify the ease of our own lives at the expense of a lost and forgotten child, condemned to a crib in a laying room for having special needs.
Thank you once again, Linny, for your blog! Reading the miraculous stories of your children, and rejoicing, yet I didn't see it coming that God would orchestrate things like this for us. That He would stretch and pull us and give us this one particular child.
That is so neat that we will get to be a part of their journey! Thanks for linking!
