Songs, Books, & Shows/Movies . . . April 2011

During the time that God began to speak to our family, there were many things that kept us seeing and hearing about adoption.  Here is a list of the ones that came to mind . . . there are probably many more, and I may add them as they are remembered.  

We have made this song list into a playlist on our ipod's and love it!  We are hoping our girl will someday enjoy these songs as well!  All three books are "must-reads!"  The Bible is full of the story of God adopting us as His children and it's a wonderful love story!  I listened to all of the books on cd in my car, and actually ran out of gas while listening to "Choosing to See" because I went to the gas station, used the restroom, and wanted to listen some more so I completely forgot to get gas.  It was crazy!  I was on the Altamont Pass at night by myself after taking people to the airport, and thankfully, when I pulled off on a deserted exit, there was a tow truck sitting there with a gallon of free gas!!!  God was so good!  So, needless to say, it may be a better book if read on paper or ipad :)!  As far as shows and movies, the subject of adoption seems to be everywhere these days.  So thankful that it's becoming more of an encouraged idea and being put out there for everyone to consider!
