Yes - you read that right! The Jansen's are expanding! We have recently begun the journey of adopting our child from Ethiopia - a child that God already knows the name of and has waiting to come home to this home. We are very excited, full of wonder, and overwhelmed with the fears of finances, more responsibilities, changes and all sorts of other things. But - God has shown us again and again and again, that when we follow His call, He is in the details. So then, we have chosen to move forward in faith, expectantly looking forward to all that God is going to do! We already know it's GOOD!
For more information on how we came to this decision, please pour yourself a cup of iced tea or coffee, and listen to what we recently shared with our congregation: www.centerpointfamily.info and click on "sermon archive" to the right. Then click on "How Real is Your Religion" for 5-30-10.
As a family (along with our awesome small group) we will be hosting a pancake breakfast fundraiser at CenterPoint Church on Saturday, July 31st. If you live in Central Ohio, will you please consider joining us and help us start raising the funds necessary to bring our child home?
YAY! and YAY! and YAY again! Welcome to the Amazing Journey!!
