Beginning already the first day we officially decided to adopt, Marc and I began to pray for our child and his birth parents. These people who we don't know and likely will never meet live a life completely different from ours. But the impact they will have on our life and are having on the life of our baby is so immense. We are filled with conflicting emotions. Sadness at the situation where they need to give their baby away and joy that we will receive a child.
We created this portrait of our baby's birth mother and chose this text for her and for our baby.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".
Jeremiah 29:11
Did you paint that? It's beautiful. That passage is SO applicable. I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt's kinda a combo job. We found an abstract painting done by a little kid (finger painting)it looked like a lady. We then altered it by hand and by computer to create this.
