IT FELL RIGHT INTO MY LAP
>> Thursday, June 13 –
personal
For a while, I really wanted to one day work for/in/own an adoption agency.
Then things changed a bit, I've thought about the so many other options I have. And it's not that I let go of the agency dream, it's just that it wasn't at the top of my mind all the time. An option, yes, a great option, but not all I thought I wanted.
And now here I am, working at one.
With my mom's new job, we've become much closer with the Director of this agency. We've all already had a love for this place and the people, because it's how we found Trey's birthmom. I never at all thought for a second I'd be working at this very place.
And now I am:)
isn't it the best view?
It's just a summer job scanning paperwork and doing random office work. But it's one step closer to the dream I've always had.
It's funny... I seriously wasn't looking. Didn't even ask. I love how God works. He hears our dreams. He knows our every secret. I hadn't spoken of a job like this in at least a year. I knew I needed a summer job, but I was not looking. Still, He saw both of these things and He let it fall straight into my lap.
&....
The agency had a sweet baby girl in their arms for a month as they waited on some things, and, being the crazy baby-lover I am, I jumped at the opportunity to have her overnight. It was a little different for me, but I loved it anyways. What a precious thing. To serve God and other people by loving on a baby. She went home to her adoptive mama this week, and oh, the beauty. I LOVE adoption.

Really, God knows our hearts. I am so very very excited for the doors He is opening through this little summer job.
Also... what a fun thing for me. The fact that my first official "job" was at an adoption agency. It doesn't get much more perfect than that.
wow emma. you really have a passion for this. i hope you keep getting to live out your dream. xx
That's awesome! I'm really jealous, I would love that job. God does some astounding things, doesn't me?! Oh that little girl is precious. You are such a light for Jesus! :)
