"I'll gently pursue her and whisper, 'I'm your papa' even as she cries and pushed me away." ...wow, speechless. Thank you for your words of encouragement, they echo in my mind as we wait for our little girl to come home as well. honestly…as I read this it becomes a little difficult to tell if it’s your voice talking about your love for Story or if it’s God voice talk about His love for me.

“I’ll gently pursue her and whisper, ‘I’m your papa’ even as she cries and pushed me away.”

…wow, speechless.

Thank you for your words of encouragement, they echo in my mind as we wait for our little girl to come home as well.

Thanks for this post. I love the honesty and raw-ness that you and Jamie possess. I am continually in awe of how God is using you all and your story to be a beautiful picture of our walk and relationship with God. I just think...how many times do we push God away and He CONTINUES to whisper "I am your papa". God takes great joy in loving and pursuing us. Thanks for that reminder. Love you guys! oh gosh.

As you know, domestic adoption is hard too. Adoption, by nature, is born out of pain. It's irritating to me when I hear people talk about it like adoption is all rainbows and sunshine. That's crap. It's a miracle with God's hand all over it, and I hope to do it again soon... But it is NOT easy. Just like most things God calls us to. Thank you for your honesty.
