In the beginning…

Today marks the beginning of an incredible adventure for our family: our journey to adoption. The adventure took hold of our hearts years ago, as newlyweds, Andrew and I dreamed of the family God might have for us.  Back then we planned it all out and along the way have opened white knuckle clenched fists to the dreams of He who knows the plans.

So here we are, raising up stone by stone, these little ones…Wade, the one with the tender heart and Chloe, full of zest for life.  And now we know, He’s adding another to the mix.

Our timeline is thankfully held in the hands of our God, who holds all creation together. Human eyes would see the Haitian legalities holding us back, but we’re choosing to trust our Heavenly Father.

In the meantime, we’re learning that it is God who does the setting of the lonely into families (Psalm 68:6). These days, the setting carries quite a financial commitment. Our Creative God is calling us to this endeavor, this bowtie treasure making endeavor.  And its quite like we’re walking out on a limb where only Christ is our foothold.

We’re opening up the shop door, inviting you all in. Come on in, check out our handmade treasures. Each and every bit of profit will go toward the (expected) $25,000 adoption cost. Join us on this journey, this rescue story…unfolding one bow tie at a time.

Both our Etsy Shop and Local Shoppe are open for business! And if you would be so kind, share a little bowtie love by following us here or liking us there.
