We had a great weekend celebrating the third anniversary of S and K’s adoption. It’ hard to imagine it has only been that long. We spent some time looking through photos of our first weeks together and giving God glory for His goodness to us. It is amazing to see how much they have grown!
We talked throughout the day about what we were celebrating but understandably so they don’t understand it. They do know adoption is something special and that is good enough for me right now. In fact, we hope and pray that will always be the case.
I pray more than anything that they will experience heavenly adoption through Christ, and that their earthly adoption will serve to point them that way.
This weekends celebration was yet another reminder of the glory of God’s love for sinners; not merely justifying me as a judge but adopting me as His very son. Incredible!
I’m thinking about registering for this. I have been meaning to read Lloyd-Jones book for a long time…maybe this will give me some accountability for it.
Anyone else want to join me?
I’m re-reading the Life and Diary of David Brainerd and again being humbled and encouraged by his radical sensitivity and passion for Christ. This quote made me think of the missionary couple that I posted on the other day and how easily I can lose sight of eternity. This life is a vapor in light of eternity.
“Oh, I love to live on the brink of eternity, in my views and meditations! This gives me a sweet, awful, and reverential sense and apprehension of God and divine things, when I see myself as it were standing before the judgement seat of Christ…My soul is delighted to be a stranger and pilgrim on the earth.” p. 101
Just stumbled on this site. Very interesting. I’m looking forward to hanging out here a little bit. You can also go here to find an interactive map showing the ethnic diversity of the country.

I’m very excited to announce Together for Adoption. Our goal is to see churches partnering together with
established orphan care and adoption organizations that recognize the
importance of vertical adoption, in order to sponsor regional adoption
conference events. Ultimately, we believe that these conferences
will help serve the church in fulfilling its responsibility to visit
orphans in their affliction.

I’m really enjoying the Bowerbirds. Check them out here.
Be sure to check out Dan Cruver, Dr. Russell Moore, and Joel Beeke tommorrow as they talk about adoption on the Calling for Truth radio program.
