2 More days- 2 dias mas


We have 2 more days in India. We have had a blast with the whole experience, the coordinator has made it possible. I can't help to think of how blessed we are to have been able to experience God so up close. We are happy we took this step of faith to adopt. We were only able to do this by God's grace. The day we picked Diya up, I couldn't help but feel bad for the little ones that for now were left behind. I prayed that those families that have ever felt the "slightest" tug in their heart to adopt, would have the faith and courage to do so for the sake of these children! Yes this requires getting out of our comfort zone, yes this means you will have challenges, and yes this means that your world will be rocked! but hey, so is the world of these children all over the world who are abandoned and abused and can't defend themselves. This will always be our prayer for these children. I also appreciate the adoption agencies around the world who dedicate themselves to make a difference in the lives of these children, thank you Brenda. When we see our daughter and how she smiles when we give her a kiss, how she smiles when we sit for a meal....well it just leaves us speechless and in wonder of how God found grace in us to parent this beautiful child. I honestly believe that everyone should experience this feeling, but I realize this is not for everybody, although in my mind it should be. We ALL need to make a difference in the lives of children somehow.

Nos quedan dos dias en la India. Nos la hemos pasado bien, el coordinador lo ha hecho possible. No puedo evitar lo bendecidos que somos de poder experimentar a Dios tan de cerca. Estamos contentos que tomamos este paso de fe para adoptar. Hemos podido hacer esto solo por la gracias de Dios. El dia que recogimos a Diya, no pude evitar sentirme mal por aquellos que por ahora se quedaban atras. Ore por aquellas familias que en algun momento han sentido el menor "tiron" en su corazon para adoptar, para tengan la fe y la valentia por el amor a estos ninos! si, esto requiere que salgamos de nuestra zona de comfort, y si, esto significa que habra retos, y si, esto significa que tu mundo sera volteado al reves, pero tambien lo esta para tantos ninos que han sido abandonados y abusados alrededor del mundo y no pueden defenderse. Esta siempre sera la oracion por esto menores. Tambien apreciamos a las agencias de adopcion alrededor del mundo que se empenan en hacer la diferencia en la vida de tanto ninos, gracias Brenda. Cuando vemos a nuestra hija que sonrie cuando le damos un beso, y que sonrie cuando nos sentamos a la mesa a comer...pues solo nos quedamos sin palabras y maravillados de como Dios encontro gracias en nosotros para ser padres de esta nina preciosa. Honestamente creo que todos deberian experimentar este sentimiento, pero se que no es para todos, aunque en mi mente creo que si deberia de ser. TODOS debemos hacer la diferencia en la vida de un nino.
