I always love asking that question to people when I haven’t seen them in awhile because it allows them the complete freedom to tell me anything they want to about their life without figuring out a way to work it into a conversation. I often get a wide variety of responses…anything from “nothing much” to a complete recap of everything they have done and even what they have thought about doing. I am the type of person that actually prefers the second extreme to that answer. I would rather have more information than nothing. It tells me that a person wants to connect with me and it feels like they trust you with some part of them.
This blog is the way that we have chosen to answer the question “What’s new with you?”
Well…WE ARE ADOPTING!
We have started the adoption process to hopefully be blessed with another child! We are walking in faith for this chapter of our lives because if you would have asked me before this year, “Would you ever adopt,” I would have said no. I would have told you that my husband and I were trying to build our family. I would have informed you that we were having trouble but we were working with several specialists to help us figure out why we were having such a hard time having another baby. It wasn’t until March of this year that I would even let Danny talk to me about adoption because to me, that wasn’t what “I had planned.” It wasn’t until I was done grieving the loss of a failed 5th pregnancy that I could open my ears to what He was trying to say to me.
We want to share with you so you can be a part of an amazing journey that is starting to take place. We are very excited to share this news with you and would like to invite you to become a follower of our blog so that you can hear “What’s New,” give you the opportunity to ask questions and pray for us while we follow the path that God has put us on.
With lots of love -
Andrea, Danny and Graham Johnson
