More information...

So we did get more information. The details were that she was 6. She had a pretty serious medical condition, unknown at the time. She doesn't walk and will likely be here a year. What?!?!

Digesting information = information overload. Still sensing this desire in our hearts, we moved forward. Doubts start to creep in fast. The evil one seeks to destroy the good things we try and do in our lives and we could feel that. We started questioning, was/is this the right decision? I think by day two we were feeling the effects of that pretty hard. Scott and I were both very thankful for the positive affirmation of our friends and family and the immediate support we felt. We needed a mattress, bedding, and clothes and these things were provided in multiples. I was also particularly thankful for the sermon by our pastor that following Sunday; leading me to believe that we really were on the right path, even though it seemed so crazy.

How could we make a decision to help someone when we did not know all of the variables? Doesn’t that sound absolutely crazy? But waiting for all of the details and knowing everything before saying yes also seems a bit absurd. We took a step of faith. Doing hard things requires faith. So we could have determined that this would just be too hard once we were given all of the details. But even after digesting all of the details, we still felt led in this direction. Doing radical things for Jesus and loving like Jesus loved does look crazy, hence the title of this blog! That is also one of the crazier things. I created this blog almost a year ago....but the title is so fitting for documenting these current days of our lives.
