Lisa and I went last night to Independence to attend an adoption seminar sponsored by Children's Hope International. The meeting was at 630pm. It was an incredible night. Saturday I felt like God was leading us towards this group and he really gave us a huge sign last night. I went there with great expectations. When we arrived the building was very small and only 2 other couples came for the presentation. My initial perceptions were not that positive. One of the couples came in and I noticed they looked very familiar. After a few moments I realized who it was. It was the same couple I spoke to that Friday morning in Chicago at Founders Week the day I heard the message from Dennis Rainey on adoption/orphan care. It was there where God really burdened my heart. This couple has a son and a daughter that go to Moody. I was asking them questions for about 10 minutes all about the school. Our son Christian may want to go there someday. Well now about a month later, back in Ohio, an hour away from my home, in a very small group of people we meet again. To top it off, they traveled all the way from Columbus to be there. It was really something. God was hitting me over the head telling me just to trust him. They are thinking about adopting from Russia, possibly an older sibling group. It was really incredible seeing them there at that specific time and specific place. There is no such thing as coincidence. Again, when God shows up he shows off!
