Sometimes I don't really feel like blogging about my very own children, and this is just one of those entries. I want to use this opportunity to send out my congratulations to my cousin and his family who recently added to his family through the adoption of twin boys -- what little cuties they are! I'm so looking forward to our families getting together since we're now only a few hours away.

Most of my friends know how actively involved and excited I get when I learn of another family's desire to adopt... I mean, there's just a kindredship we share with all the poking and prying into our lifestyles as we meander through the home study visits, not to mention the many fingerprinting sessions and oodles of paperwork that never seems to end. I was so comforted to walk through my own adoption journey knowing that God's glory would be served through my act of obedience. I was even more pleased to see another family member walking in faith and obediently answering the call to adopt. Congratulations Cliff and Kelly and family! You radiate God's goodness through your ministry service and commitment to spread God's wishes for ALL families! Keep up the good work!



And as an added note: Congratulations to their son, Stuart, who as a high school senior carrying a 3.9 GPA, just Monday won the recognition as the BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYER in 3A FOOTBALL for Arkansas at a Hooten's State Farm award ceremony. (Division 3A has 48 teams so what a wonderful accomplishment!) Way to go, Stuart! Nice work! What an honor!
