The idea of Malachi was conceived

"I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you"  John 14:18.  This is the verse that started it all.  A few month ago, Gavin and I felt a calling to adopt a child.  After prayerfully considering our options, we decided to adopt from Ethiopia.  Ethiopia has a huge need for adoptive parents to adopt baby boys.  So we have decided to request a boy and we will name him Malachi....God's messenger.  We are so exited to see how God will use us through this process.  As you may know, adoption is very expensive.  About 30,000 to be exact.  This is our biggest hurdle but God is bigger.  We are trusting God completely to bring us everything we need to complete this adoption!  We feel nothing but excitement about watching God's perfect plans unravel right before our eyes.  We just got our pre-application accepted and are currently working on the application and home study.  Lots of paperwork to do!  I find nothing but joy in doing it!
