Tapestry

I don't normally go to movies since I just wait for them to come out on DVD and then watch them at home, so I am not too excited about what the latest and greatest new release in the theater is. But I am concerned about the new movie "Orphan", even when I first saw the trailer. We were not even thinking about adoption then and I told Teresa, "This is ridiculous. Nothing like painting the most vile picture you could paint so people are pushed away from adopting even more". I will not be watching this movie.

I do want to say that there is a little boy in China even right now who is truly changing my heart, and our entire family's heart. To think that from eternity past God has been knitting into the most beautiful tapestry another member of our family that will either complete the picture or help to complete it. I know that in a matter of months we will be saying, "Our family was not complete until this little man came to us". How exciting to know that God has a perfect plan and He is making a fabric of all the strings of each one of our lives. Without even 1 of those strings the fabric will not be the same.

I would encourage you to read the book Scared. I also would encourage you to visit Tom Davis' blog for your reading and heart encouragement.
