About Us!

My photo
We are Elizabeth and Allan Pack and have been married 8 years. In November 2011 we took that leap of faith and applied to adopt a child from Ethiopia. This blog is all about our journey from start to finish. We patiently waited for 5 years to bring our child home and as of April 2016 we felt God was leading us to withdraw from the program and help another family bring home their child.

In Awe...

I just want to say how Awesome and Wonderful God is!! When you fully trust Him and lean on Him for guidance, reassurance, and all of your needs, He will meet them every time. (He will meet your needs, not your wants!)

God continues to provide the way for us to bring home Baby Pack!

     Today at Church, we were approached by two friends who wanted to tell us what God had placed on their hearts. The couple told us that their car wasn't working anymore and their neighbor had actually given them his car. So they sold the car that no longer worked to someone else and were able to tell him a little bit about our situation and how they had prayed about this and were going to give us the money for our adoption fund. Wow, Seriously?!? They sold their car and gave us the money to put towards bringing home our little one! Words cannot even describe how grateful, amazed, thankful and blessed we are! That was all God, He took that gift of their neighbor giving them a car and multiplied it! We continue to be in awe of what He is doing in our lives! The kindness of all those who continue to pray for us and help us.


In John 15:13 Jesus says, "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."
This doesn't mean we have to die to show our love for our friends. We lay down our lives every time we put someone else's needs before our own. This is what that couple did for us. We can lay down our lives through service and can do small acts of kindness. These things, whether big or small, let us feel the happiness of connecting with our brothers and sisters and remind us that God allows us to be the answer to someone else's prayers!
