(Asher in his coat of many colors!)
(Asher is on the right in an orange shirt.)
I cannot tell you the excitement that Danny, the kids, and I are feeling! We have pictures to go with a name! Not only that, but we just heard that one of Owen's friends, Michael, got to play soccer with Asher while he was in Uganda over Spring Break. Michael described Asher as "outgoing" and "joyful"... joyful! Can you believe it? One of our friends went to Uganda for Spring Break and just happened to meet our son! God is so big! When we first started on this journey, Danny and I had no idea that God was bringing together so many different families; we just knew He had called us. Now we see three, perhaps more, families being drawn to adopt from this same orphanage on the other side of the world. We see dozens of families giving their time, gifts, and money to help these children. I cannot wait to see all that God has planned for our little neck of the woods in His Kingdom work.
"Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21
He is such a gorgeous kid! So thrilled for you guys, and for ASHER!!! Love!
ReplyDeleteDana Keck- Oh my goodness!!! I am just coming into "the loop" here about your families call and decision to adopt. I have read all your past posts and let me say- I am so excited for you! Asher is beautiful and I look forward to meeting him and seeing him run around at CPA football games. I have tears reading your posts and I count it a blessing and priviledge to know your family. God called and you STEPPED UP. What a great example of living out the gospel. I look forward to seeing all that God has in store for you and your sweet family! Woo hoo!!! With love, anne and the morrow crew~
