Love (

I wrote this blog in the summer but never posted it...





Sometimes it takes other people around you to tell you that you need to take a break and relax. To be honest I am TIRED and I am ready for a break. I had a big realization tonight when I was a meeting for the Late night ministry's and we were looking at pictures and discussing racial reconciliation. we were discussing how hard it is to live a life that is "different" and defies all the expectations that are placed on us by our familys and friends. We are expect d to live up to the American dream where all we care about is money, a nice house, big fancy car, the rich husband who makes all the money, white picket fences with 2.5 children and a dog.

we were discussing the fact that we don't want that but yet we have so much pressure to be a part of that lifestlye. I came to this conclusion, my family and friends dont understand why we would choose to adopt a child with medical needs a child who from the first time we met him, we knew that he was sick. They don't understand how we could or want to choose that lifestyle but what they dont see is the fact that we didn't choose it... God choose it for us. It was the call that Jesus placed on my parents to take in high risk children that needed a forever family so they did not have to go from home to home if anything it is the love that we have to offer these children that have been so healing with the different children that he have had in our care.
