"Once our eyes are opened, we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and holds us responsible to act."
~ Proverbs 24:12
I just came across something that i thought i would share with you. Boz, you should watch these. It's a video series entitled, Insights & Gifts. There are 16 videos total and it offers seven insights, and seven gifts that are highly relevant for those who are parents, adopting, or fostering children from hard places. I think I’ll post one video a week. Though, knowing me, it’ll be more like all 16 by the end of the week.
In the first video, Dr. Karyn Purvis introduces Empowered To Connect’s Insights & Gifts video series.
In the next one, Dr. Karyn Purvis talks about the importance of parents exploring their expectations and motivations, as well as the impact that their own history can have when parenting children from hard places.
(also known as Dave and jody)...would love it if you'd follow along on our adoption journey. We have been married for almost 4 years and have chosen adoption as our first choice to begin our family. We're so excited bring home the child that God has for us in Ethiopia!
