It was a long and amazing weekend. We went to our first Tapestry conference at Irving Bible Church. Very grateful for Michael & Amy Monroe's hospitality. I rent to the orphan care track and was blown away by the things that God is doing! Dare I mention how much we love Bruce & Denise Kendrick, encouraged and blessed by how God works through them and their ministry to children, completely owning that we are Embrace groupies:)
Daily, I am reminded that I am super unqualified to lead a ministry. Getting out of God's way & doing the work as He brings seems to be exactly how He likes it. There were many things to learn,will be working on getting meetings scheduled as we can. Prayerfully making some decisions and stepping out in faith...love it when God does His thing as we obey:)
Both yesterday and today we were blessed to hear from David & Jayne Schooler. Incredible servants of God with a passion for healing children and families dealing with trauma with the hope & help of Christ. I also began reading the book Wounded Children Healing Homes, highly recommend. Jayne & David both talk about realities as they are and hope of healing that is found in Christ and a skilled therapist:) I found many things I once had believed about adoption that I wished I had looked at before we began our journey 7 years ago.
Throughout the sessions and speakers, God had confirmed a lot about direction for Abba ministry as well as some things we are praying over for ourselves. It is exhilarating! Like I finally get it!
We've been praying over Orphan Sunday for several months. Can hardly believe it is a week away! As we've researched info to bring to the church body, God is asking us to do things for our own adoption to engage our church body and friends.
Praying hard and gearin' up...God's got this and whatever He does is sure to be great as we stay out of His way:) We are humbled and grateful.
Pray Hard, you know the attacks have stepped up quite a bit as Orphan Sunday nears and as we've continued to move ahead with our paperwork.
