The Blank Canvas


After pouring out my heart on our homeschooling e-loops, I realized that a blogspot may be a much better place to communicate. This way, folks that may be interested in this topic of adoption, could purposefully log on and skim over my words, instead of receiving a random message and running the risk of having to endure my ramblings in the form of an email posted to a homeschooling eloop.

It is my heartfelt prayer that folks will use this blog as a form of expression, encouragement, edification, exhortation and to help others get through some of the challenges that face us as families, both biological as well as adoptive.

As I clicked on "Create a Blog" I began to daydream immediately as to what my blog would contain. I didn't think of choosing a fancy background or even going to the settings or layout pages. My mind began drifting back to how our adoption story came into being. I thought of how, through the Blood of JESUS CHRIST, God wiped away each our pasts and began painting a picture of Grace on the blank canvas called NEW LIFE.. ultimately resulting in the portrait of HIS Grace....which is everchanging until the time comes when we will spend eternity with Him forever.

I hope this blog will be used by all those who have been in some way touched by adoption to share their stories and thereby encouraging others to keep on keeping on, to be pliable vessels for the Master's use. But mostly to draw others to the knowledge of the GOSPEL (Good news) of JESUS CHRIST.
