Still Amazed! (by Chris)

O.K. I know that this blog is about our adoption process but as we go through this process I have been blessed so man times by Bethany and the kids by watching what God is doing in their hearts. I have spent the last few weeks taking in all that my wife is.  If there are typos and grammatical errors in this post I apologize. If I let her preview it she would never let me post it.  I know it is a day after mother's day but still close enough for me to brag a little on Bethany.  Over the last few months I have seen just what God is doing in the life of Bethany and it is truly amazing!  She is already incredible but to see her with the courage to put on a event, actually ask people to help her (something that she hates doing), stand in front of a group of about 60 people and share her heart for orphans and her passion to serve them (public speaking is something she fears more than death!) but she did it.  Not only are we trying to raise the support for our two children from China but also for her to go and minister to God's precious children in Romania.  Watching her heart swell with love for these kids that she has never even seen just shows me what a work God has done in her.  It reminds me of what a gift she is to me, Ali and Hunter.  She pulled the tea off with the help of some other amazing people from what has become our church family.  She stood there shared her heart and moved people, not because of her magical words or years of training but just because she was willing to follow our God.  She is truly an amazing mother and an amazing wife.  I cannot wait to see where God takes us next!
