Adoption

So i have been writing about things going on my life and i have failed to mention one of the most exciting things to happen. Gwen and I are in the process of adopting a baby. It has only come through God. We have discussed this for many years, even when we were dating we discussed the possibility of adopting. So now that we are ready we met with a couple different agencies last fall and decided to go with Bethany to adopt a baby. We wanted to adopt a baby from Gr area. Our mind was, why adopt from over seas when there are kids right here that need a home. But to make a very long story short adoption agencies really don't need us, we have 2 kids of our own and we are not a prime family to adopt locally. so we are adopting from Ethiopia. Our projected time to get a baby will be sometime in the winter of 2010. It will come quick.

Where is God?

Some people go crazy asking this question. have you thought about where he is in your life today. Stop and take in what has happened today. Have you seen him? what has been good about today? what has been bad about today? Do you see him? Recently i had the opportunity to talk to a teenage young man who wonders why he doesn't feel God's Presence. He has friends that feel it but he does not. He has a friends whose mom died of cancer and where is God? A few years ago i was at my parents cottage laying on the Beach and looking up with a couple other guys and one of them said you know we see all this around us and people say that God is everywhere where is he right now. So as you look around your day where do you see God. I friend from church said she saw God in the hospital, i have seen God in thunderstorms, on mission trips, i have seen him answer prayers of adoption for Gwen and myself.
What about you?
