Taste and SEE

"Taste and SEE that the Lord is good

blessed is the one who takes refuge in him."

Psalm 34:8

This week I couldn't put the book down called Choosing to See by Mary Beth Chapman.

When I first heard about the death of their precious daughter in May of 2008 I was heartbroken for them. Reading Mary Beth's honest and vulnerable story of her life and God's fingerprints on it every step of the way is so encouraging and hopeful.

I love how she shares her struggles.... in her marriage, her faith, her depression and even in accepting God's plan in her life and family.

She continues to trust God in the midst of her pain.

I also loved reading about their heart for adoption and helping others to be able to experience the joy of extending their arms of love to forsaken ones around the world.

Having adopted our two precious girls gives me a glimpse of all that God wants me to understand and experience that He has adopted ME into his family.

SEEING that God is good, that HE is in control, the HE is there.. no matter what...

Is our choice.

I want to CHOOSE to SEE too.
