It was in an orphanage many miles from home in Guatemala that the Lord used one precious jewel to rip open the heart of my dear husband. This little princess was sitting on Bryan's lap during the bedtime devotions. When it was time for him to leave for the night, she wept for him. This continued for a while until an older orphan came to gather her from Bryan's arms. The rest of the week was bitter sweet knowing that each moment would come to an end. Bryan and my son, Isaiah would return to our home of love while she would be left in the orphanage without parents.
Upon returning home from this trip, we knew all the years of talking, discussing, and praying about adoption had come to an end. It was time to start the journey that would end with a child safely place in our arms where no one could take him/her away. An adventure that would lead us to a child who didn't have parents who could provide them a safe haven. A place lavished with the Saving Grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
