I have been thinking about my life lately, and all of things that have happened because I got out of the driver's seat and let God be in control of my life.
If I would have listened to what most of the world thinks is the way to live, I would be missing out on an extraordinary life.
Because I prayed to God and told Him to use me here on earth, my life has gone where I have never expected.
I have been to Africa 3 times in 14 months! When I think about it, it is hard to believe sometimes!
I would have missed out on so much, if I did not make myself available to God.
People often ask me, are you going to have more kids? It seems to be a topic of curiosity among many.
My answer to this is simple. Once you have been called to be a blessing to others in this world, you simply can not say "I am done now."
If God ever reveals a child in need to us again, of course we could not say no.
So, I don't know if we are done adding to our family or not. That is up to God. I will do whatever God asks me to do.
It is the most amazing experience in life, to simply be a blessing to someone who can not repay you. Nor, would I ever expect to be paid back.
But, what is incredible is that we have been blessed! We wanted to give to children that had nothing. No parents, no future, no hope. I never expected the abundant blessings that come from being an adoptive parent.
We have one life here on earth to live, and we must live it to the fullest, God's fullest!
I pray that my children live their life for God. What a waste their life will be if they don't!
None of us must ever waste our life! Start living for God! Ask Him to reveal to you, what you can do for him!
Don't miss out the most rewarding opportunity! You never know what God has in store for you, if you don't ask!
Make yourself available and get ready for an awesome adventure!
Matthew 25:21
21"His master replied, 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!'

• May. 4, 2008 - Get in the back seat
You hit it on the head. I constantly remind myself that I want to live GOD's life, not the one I think I want. When I keep that my focus- staying in the back seat, my life is always more than I could ever ask for or imagine. What would we do without Mel? I can't wait to start homeschooling and see God's plan there! Also can't wait until "Lucy" is revealed.
