Big things are afoot in our family. I’m coming closer to being a grandma! That’s right—Kristin and Shawn have decided to adopt! Can you tell I’m a little excited? :)
In fact, we’re all excited. And if truth be told, we’re a little nervous, too. We know the next few months might hold some unexpected twists and turns, and the unknown can be a little scary. This is definitely an opportunity for all of us to keep our eyes on the Lord and trust him each step of the way.
Would you please pray for Kristin and Shawn—and us!—as we wait for the Lord’s plan to unfold? We know he has good things in store, but the ride could be a little bumpy getting there. We need your prayers, please!
Thanks so much for lifting this need to our Father over the next few months. Can’t wait to share the exciting news of our grandchild!! :)

Prayers are being sent your way for your family. Being a grandmother is the best.

Hoe exciting and are definitely praying for all of you!
Hooray for Jake & Kristin! What an exciting time for all of you. I’ll definitely be praying for you all during this time of the unknown. :)
Oops! Kristin & Shawn. Not Jake. ;) Had Jake in my mind because of his shared birthday with Son #2.
Very exciting to hear, Cheryl. I’ll be tracking this time with you and praying for the right child at the right time! Blessings.
