We're Facebook Official!

They say once you post it on Facebook, it's official.  So now the world officially knows God's plan for the Etter family!

Before we posted this on social media, we stopped to pray.  

"Dear God, we ask that Jenny and this journey touch lives.  May this story present the Gospel to many friends and strangers, and may people see and know the unconditional love of Christ.  It is all for Your glory and honor that we do this.  In Jesus' name.  Amen"

And that's what this blog is for.  To share the story of Jenny's adoption into our family, but more than that...we want to share the love of Jesus with you.  Because it's only because of His love that we are able to embark on this privilege of adoption.   Like every child, Jenny's life has a purpose and we imagine great and mighty things for her, just as we do for Vivien.  We pray that their lives and their own journeys would honor God.

Adoption is hard.  It's emotionally taxing.  I've lost track of the times I've cried over the process and the waiting and the uncertainty.  It's expensive, too!  But we know God will provide.  We've entered into His plan on faith, and He is faithful and just and true.  

So, sit back, relax and enjoy our journey.  But if you can, please pray for us.  We could use it!  

If you're able, give.  Not necessarily to our adoption, but to any of waiting children or adoptive families on Reece's Rainbow.  

Spread the word about Reece's Rainbow!  There are so many children waiting for their families to come and claim them!  How will their families find them if we don't spread the word?  

If Jenny's story has touched even just one life, then God's plan has been accomplished and we give all the glory to Him.
