We are all praying<\/strong> for JT & Erin and Josh & Jess as they prepare to adopt children from outside of these United States. I’ve found it inspiring to read and hear from both of these families. Each is different, but both have a similar desire — to give the love God’s placed in their hearts to children who need it.<\/p>\n

Today, JT & Erin’s blog<\/strong> reminded me of the intensity of this God-given-love. Sometimes it’s almost a hunger — something that you feel so strongly it seems essential to satisfy. I loved the insight Erin gave as she wrote and I was humbled as I thought of how committed she and JT are to these children.<\/p>\n

Take a moment to read her words by clicking here<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

And remember to pray faithfully for…<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. JT & Erin as they patiently wait. Pray that God would fill their hearts with his hope and love. That they would “Remember the joy that’s coming.”<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Josh & Jess as they do the same.<\/li>\n
  3. Louie, Tuck, and Lucy — as they anticipate The Next Tkacik<\/a>. Pray that God will help their young minds to appreciate the sacredness of what’s happening.<\/li>\n
  4. The children, as they are born and begin to grow. Pray that God will keep them safe and healthy.<\/li>\n
  5. Other friends and family members who will interact with these families and children. That they would find the love contagious.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We are very blessed to be part of these families lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Thanks for praying.<\/p>\n
