We, as Christians, are given many scriptures to reiterate the importance of obeying the Lord. And, for Shawn and I, obedience has a new dimension. We believe adopting Alexander to be in obedience with what God is calling us to do. There truly is no other way to explain it; no reasonably otherwise rational reason to do it. We are simply doing what we know we are called to do no matter how crazy it may appear to those around us.
1 John 5:2
We know we love God’s children if we love God and obey his commandments.
Revelation 3:8
“I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you obeyed my word and did not deny me."
Hebrews 11:8
It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going.
James 2:8
Yes indeed, it is good when you obey the royal law as found in the Scriptures: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
1 Corinthians 13:7
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
We are on the journey of a lifetime. We are blessed to have wonderful prayer warriors around the world following us. Obedience is not always easy, but it is always worth it.
