Hope

 At the beginning of our Adoption Journey, I saw this necklace and bought it.  Al and I both agreed that "hope" was the driving force behind our choice to adopt- needing to share the Hope of Jesus and the Hope that He gives us continually.  Al even had a bracelet made that said "hope."  Something simple yet it stands for something more profound.

Tonight, we found out that our little girls' name means Hope.

When the Lithuanian lady shared that with me, it was all I could do to not cry!  Our God is SO big, He gave Al and I both the same word to encourage us, and it is the name of the little girl we want to be a part of our family!

{side note, the little boys name does not mean anything cool- it just a super popular name today in Lithuania- still, we love him and can't wait for him to be a part of our family}

While we continue to wait for Uncle Sam to approve us and send us our final form- we will rest in this comfort that God is in our details!
