I’m missing Together for Adoption. I mean that in both senses of the word “missing.”
The Holy Spirit blows where he wills, and he’s lifted me off my feet this week. With my second round this year of laryngitis, my doctor asked me to cancel all speaking for this week, including my time in Greenville, SC, for the Together for Adoption conference.
I’d planned to disobey his instruction, and go croak it out anyway since adoption is the primary passion of my life right now. I’ve been working all year on my book, Adopted for Life: The Priority of Adoption for Chrisitan Families and Churches (Crossway, forthcoming).
The voice just never got well enough though (though it’s coming along now). I sound like Peter Brady singing “It’s Time to Change.” For those of you too old or too young to know what I’m talking about, this does not refer to this year’s presidential election.
I hate to miss this conference, but encourage you to follow the great work being done by Together for Adoption. I’ve already committed to make the next conference, whenever and whenever, if the Lord wills. I pray that God will move mightily toward turning chuches and families to orphan care, and turning ex-orphans like you and me toward gratitude to our Father, our firstborn Brother, and our common household in the Spirit.
