Identity

June 20, 2008

We have had to take classes online to understand how Kati will feel being adopted. It seems alot of children have a identity crisis not knowing their background. I can understand that, I sometimes have identity crises and I have acess to a BIG book my Grandmother had going back hundreds of years of our relatives.I was running this morning and started thinking about how I could help Kati if she experiences this. The thought came to me when we are adopted into God's family alot of us go through the same thing. We feel not worthy enough or we have to be "good" so all our stuff won't be taken away.We are having Kati's furniture delivered today and it is beautiful.She has done absolutely nothing to deserve it we just want to give her the world because of the love that is in us for her.This has to be just a small scale of the love that God has for us. He adopted us because he loves us .It amazes me that he will go to the dark places to adopt us if we will just let him. He does not want us to live our lives as orphans but as ones loved by a father that paid a price much more than we are having to pay to get Kati. I can see that the stress we are going through is nothing compared to the joy we will have when she is finally in our arms. How much more is Jesus excited when we finally accept what he did for us to be in his family.Like we are going to Russia he came to the world.We are only paying money to adopt Kati God paid with his blood.Kati is a sweet cute baby but we are not that sweet and most are not that cute!!!!!This has settled alot in my mind to be able to understand and accept God's adoption of me.edit
