Kevin and I were incredibly blessed this weekend to be able
to attend an Adaption Seminar. From Infant
care training (it was so much fun to see my husband diaper a huge baby doll and
swaddle it ;-) now he has no excuse when he helps me babysit ) to more
information about the adoption process all topped off with incredible stories
that truly demonstrate the work of God through Colorado Christian Services We find ourselves feeling more at peace than
ever about our decision to adopt, as well as our decision to move forward with
CCS. This process can be stressful, and there is definitely
some fear and anxiety but we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that if GOD wants
for us to adopt through CCS all obstacles will be moved out of our way. Regardless of the out-come of this process
(of course we are praying that the outcome will be us to eventually bring home
our baby) we know that God will use this all to show HIS glory. We are thankful, for the things we have
learned on this journey of infertility and the knowledge that for whatever
reason GOD has chosen us to show His power and His blessing in a different way
then many people experience. While the
blessing of a child through natural birth is something that we have mourned and
through our life time we will continue to mourn we rejoice in knowing that like
Moses God has choosen us for HIS purpose just as HE chooses everyone. While it may not have been the journey we had
dreamed about it is a beautiful story and we are excited to live the coming
chapters of this journey and life together and are excited to see, and to grow
closer as we step out in faith seeking God’s will in our lives. So as we continue stepping forward we seek
you continued prayers!
First, we seek your
prayers on behalf of CCS. The hand of
God is clearly on this agency and on the people who work there. We know that GOD places each person in
contact with CCS and HE chooses the families for each one of those Birth Moms
and Babies! Please pray that God will continue to be seen through and glorified
by HIS Works through CCS. Second of all, we ask that you would be in
prayer for our birth mom and for the family.
She is out there, and she may not even be pregnant yet but it will take
AMAZING courage strength, and support for this women to SELFLESSLY choose the
needs of her child over her own desires!
This decision is a life changing one, and one that she will never
forget. Finally we ask your prayers for
us, as we continue to grow stronger as a couple growing in faith and growing
into the parents that God intends for us to be. For prayers as we continue to
step through this difficult process that God will continue to guide our steps
and that our story will be a clear demonstration of HIS GLORY, POWER, and LOVE and
that beyond anything, HE IS SEEN through every piece of this incredible story!
Thank you to all our friends and family for the support you
have given us through the years and we look forward to you continuing to
sharing in our lives and one of these days you will have another Walker whose
life you will impact just as you have impacted ours!
