Lately the Lord has been reminding me of the efficacy and power of His Word. The opening verses of Psalm 19 remind us that all creation bears witness that there is a God. It bears witness with our conscience as well as our mind. It speaks of the existence of God, but without words. Is that sufficient? We must be aware of what God demands of us. And that is the function of God's Law.
In Psalm 19, we read (beginning at verse 7):
"7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making the simple wise.8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandments of the LORD are pure, giving light to the eyes.9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether,10 more to be desired than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.11 And Your servant is warned by them; in keeping them there is great reward.12 Who can understand his errors? Oh make me pure from secret faults ;13 and keep Your servant back from presumptuous sins ; do not let them rule over me; then I shall be upright, and I shall be innocent of great transgression.14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer."
Our family's adoption journey. This is about God, His faithfulness and His Sovereignty in our lives. We are praying it is His will to bring home two children from Ethiopia. ...having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved. Ephesians 1:5-6

WHY ETHIOPIA? WHY NOT ETHIOPIA?
Our first reason is God called us to go
There are approx. 4.6 million orphans due to AIDS and poverty
One in six children die before they turn 5
One in ten children die before they turn 1
Millions still die of starvation each year
Half the children in Ethiopia will never have an opportunity to attend school
Some parts still practice female circumcision
82% of the population survives on less than 1 dollar a day
Only 1/4 of the entire population has access to safe drinking water
Ethiopia’s doctor to children ratio is 1 to 24,000
Children and family are honored above all else threre
1 in 3 people are HIV+ , the average life expectency is between 37-42.
If I lived in Ethiopia, I may have died this year!
