It's Worth It

We know a few couples that have had long, emotionally trying adoption journeys lately. Months of struggle and uncertainty and sometimes even tragedy and loss.  We're thrilled that our friends Tony and Jenn Sutton were finally able to bring their son home from Ethiopia last week, and she posted something on her blog that we've often thought can only be fully understood on the "home" side of the journey:

I would go halfway around the world again for this little man.  I would spend all the money I had.  I would take as many 17 hour flights as needed.  I would spend even more years waiting if I had to.

How much more would God do for me (and you)?  Thanks be to God!

It's so refreshing and good to hear those words from a momma that walked a long, uncertain road to bring her son home. As we start the adoption process again, it's a good reminder that as difficult, expensive and long as the process can be, it's worth it!  Therefore, as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:1 and 4:16, we do not lose heart.
