HIV--The Truth

Here I am again:)) I forgot to mention the video that I put up on HIV--The TRUTH Pandemic. The reason we are on this journey once again is because God placed it in our hearts to adopt an HIV+ little girl. This was not an easy decision. It was only after much research, prayer, more research and more prayer that we have decided to walk in obedience down this road. I cannot tell you how long HIV has been on my heart--perhaps for 10 years or more. I CAN tell you that it WAS NOT on my husband's heart-- his job is protect our family, and he felt that he could not do this while parenting a child who is HIV+. It was only after understanding the TRUTH about HIV and how it spreads that the Lord worked on his heart as well. And here we are--advocating and educating. Understanding that through this process, we will be on our knees daily. I hope to document through this blog our fears, our concerns, our highs and our lows. I hope to write honestly and openly. I hope that the people I love the most will stand up and support us, regardless. But I'm not so sure at this time.

Here we are!!

Ok, I am not a writer.  Actually I do not like to write, it kind of makes me anxious and moody.  But, I know that as a mom who has been on an incrediable journey with God to create our family and to care for the orphan, I need to share.  I love to talk, I love to encourage and to support, but writing it all down is really not my thing.  But, HERE WE ARE.  I have no technical skills and will be relying on my dear husband to help me with this, and I am sure that he will write some posts too, he actually likes to write.  I also have a dear friend who can be found here who has encouraged me to just start, so I am.  As I take the time to document my family, where we have been and where we are going, I pray that I will inspire others to take the journey too.  Yep, step out of our comfort zones a bit and take that leap of faith. That's what I am doing here, thanks for joining our journey!
