More Blessings.

bind my heartToday, we were blessed with an additional $2,950 towards our adoption!!  We are now close to be 1/3 funded for our adoption! We are so so blessed. So grateful. So blown away by God's faithfulness and the family and friends He's given us who are contributing to our dream of a family.  One that will look different than most, one that is not as traditional or 'natural', but one that brings much joy and glory to God who makes family what it is. And one that will bring a joy and meaning to our lives in a way deeper than we can fully understand just yet.We are honored to be on this journey and so thankful to have so many willing to share in this adventure with us.  We are one more step closer to bringing you home, beloveds!My dear friend Brandi and I made some home-made signs (pictured above) yesterday. We had so much fun coming up with what words we wanted to paint, and who we would be giving our signs to.  I am hoping to make a few more of these and sell them for our adoption...so if anyone is interested, just message me here or send me an e-mail at loverootsphotography@gmail.com!They make great gifts and also great pieces for your home :)I chose "Bind my wandering heart to Thee" because it's from one of my most favorite hymns:Come Thou Fount Come Thou Fount of every blessingTune my heart to sing Thy grace;Streams of mercy, never ceasing,Call for songs of loudest praiseTeach me some melodious sonnet,Sung by flaming tongues above.Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,Mount of God's unchanging love.Here I raise my Ebenezer;Hither by Thy help I'm come;And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,Safely to arrive at home.Jesus sought me when a stranger,Wandering from the fold of God;He, to rescue me from danger,Interposed His precious blood.O to grace how great a debtorDaily I'm constrained to be!Let that grace now like a fetter,Bind my wandering heart to Thee.Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,Prone to leave the God I love;Here's my heart, O take and seal it,Seal it for Thy courts above.
