Even though we've known the worldwide orphan crisis is real - it was abstract. The shear numbers were overwhelming. The problem seemed too big. The solution seemed allusive.
Then on Friday, November 5th we were introduced to a little boy. And that changed everything.
The "worldwide orphan crisis" was narrowed down to one little boy.
It is no longer abstract - he is a precious 2 and half year old little guy with curly hair.
The problem of orphan will soon be met with the solution of son. And that changes everything.
Eli is truly lucky. enough said. -jeremy
ReplyDeleteyay!!
ReplyDeleteYea! I am so happy for you guys! I am going to have to call and hear all about him. Can't wait to see how God will use this little guy!
ReplyDeleteI think i have came back and read this about 30 times, no lie. I can't get over it. I couldn't go to sleep last night...SERIOUSLY. Rejoicing with you guys! God is GOOD! So thankful!
ReplyDeleteI love yall so much. To know that FBNO youth have such great role models who are so caring and compassionate makes me feel so good! It is truly amazing what you are doing for this little boy. He will be able to grow up not ever having to question if he is loved. He will know that he has two awesome parents, and I know yall will raise him to know the most important thing: That not only is he your son, but he is God's son. It is the love of God that gave you two the ability and the hearts to adopt him, and I hope that he is up there smiling (...as much as we are supposed to be humble...whatever..). You two are amazing and know that you are in all of our prayers, and that you will be such good parents!
