Adoption Clip

Over the past year, my heart for adoption and foster care has grown tremendously.  It went from just a thought that "Hey, I could do that," to a full blown desire and passion (read more here).  I just love the way it reflects the gospel!  It shows there is no way we could possibly adopt or foster a child without the help of our Father and the Holy Spirit.

This is a short, three minute clip that I saw today that I just wanted to share :)  Hope you enjoy!

"I like to tell people that we were the people in the back of the filing cabinet with the red stamp saying: Do not adopt. You look at the file on humanity and it says: Prone to rejection, prone to running away, prone to disobedience. There is no reason why God should have loved us and yet God did love his. He set his love upon us and it was a redemptive love to reconcile us to himself, to restore us to himself and restoring a people to himself. We were meant to be part of the family of God. We fell away and God still brings us back to himself."
