WE ARE EXPECTING!
Our family is growing yet again!!!!!
But, no we aren’t pregnant…
We’re adopting!
Two boys from Burundi, in East Africa! We are not matched with children yet so we don’t know ages, names, or faces.

This is something we have honestly thought about for several years, prayed about for years and intended on waiting three or five years longer to do, we have also thought about just helping fund other people’s adoptions, and while this is still in our hearts, God, in all His sovereignty has laid it on both BJs and my heart, at the same time and confirmed it in multiple ways. This is our calling, our gifts.
We are going forward… after much prayer and seeking the Lord, but know in the deepest parts of our hearts this is EXACTLY what God has for us. Proverbs 24:12 says “Once our eyes are opened we can’t pretend we don’t know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act.”
We ask for your support! Mainly emotionally and spiritually, knowing that we have an Enemy that desires nothing more than to keep orphans as orphans because the family is God’s plan for shaping little hearts into His image. Satan knows that if he can rob a child the opportunity to have a loving earthly relationship with a mother and father they’ll be less likely to experience the love of their Heavenly Father! So please pray for us, our future children, that they only encounter safe and loving hands until they are in our arms, and the events that must occur to bring them home.
Currently we are getting our Application together, We feel firmly that He has ordained from the beginning of time the children that are to be our sons and daughters… now, we just need to let Him lead us to the last two. We are still learning, seeking wise counsel and praying for God’s direction. We are more aware than anything that this is GOD’S DEAL… not our own!
We love you all and thank you for walking beside us and welcoming these two into your hearts too! #burundiboyscomehome #miller8pack
