Every call has a beginning. A quiet moment when God whispers a promise to a mother’s heart
A holy place where a father bows and faithfully accepts the journey set before him
A miraculous morning that unexpectedly dawns…
Casting its first light on a chosen threshold
A gentle knock...
A closed door opens.
A sacred invitation sent by the Father...
Leads to the other side of the world.
Where lonely hearts stare out orphanage windows
Praying for someone to care...
And then one morning,
On an ordinary day
An orphan’s life changes...
God sends them a second chance...
Through you...

This time last year (the 3rd week of February), I had my quiet moment; I heard God's whisper in my heart! Although it was not the first moment when my husband and I discussed the possibility of having a third child, this was the moment when I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that we would adopt a little girl.
I can only pray that our "ordinary day" comes soon; that Emma's life will change and that she will get that second chance - the promise of a loving family.

Oh... thanks for sharing that great poem. I am still praying for you as you wait. God's timing will be perfect. He is not slow according to His promises. : )
This was beautiful. Praying your family is completed soon, and when Emma arrives, this poem should grace the walls of her room- what a beautiful thought for a much wanted little girl.
