Truth be told, Jesus had a choice. And, He chose us. That's significant enough to capture my attention and take my breath away. I undeservedly have been adopted as a child of Jesus Christ, the one true King. I am the daughter of a King. It's every fantasy a girl dreams of, and it's gifted to me through the master of my life. Talk about a feeling of being tiny and insignificant. But, He calls me daughter, and I call Him father. I pray earnestly for my daughter to experience Christ and His true salvation at an early age. I pray that she would be an avid follower after Christ's own heart all of the days of her life. Please, join me in praying that prayer over Vivie's life. The further into this adoption journey I get, the more significant and profound my relationship with Christ becomes. See, I don't want to take one obstacle in the journey for granted. I want to experience it to the fullest, which will be difficult. I don't want to miss any moments of chaos, turmoil, grief, anguish, joy, celebration, etc. because I want to know Christ more. It is through these moments, especially the hard ones, when I will gain so much insight into the being that is Christ, the God of all things. I don't want to miss any moment of that, even though I don't anticipate that it will be easy. So, while it has been a huge obstacle simply raising the money for the mere first big payment, I want to rejoice in the journey. And, while I know that this mountain of paperwork was just the first of many many more, I want to savor the moment. Christ calls me His own. It's about time I truly get to know Him through some rough, but beautiful, quality time. Please pray with me as this first packet is sent off for Vivie!
With Love,
Kayla!!!!!! You are such a beautiful child of God! I can't wait to love on that baby!!!!
