Now that you know the whole story leading up to our adoption, we are overjoyed to introduce our newest family member: Milagros Victoria Leebrick.
She is Loved by our Heavenly Father.
Chosen. Favored. Blessed.
A Two-Year-Old Bundle of Joy.
We are overwhelmed that our loving God arranged all these circumstances and so many Miracles to bring her into our family.
During the months of May and June, Brandon, the boys, and I were in Bogotá, Colombia for over three weeks finalizing Mila’s adoption. This journey has stretched us and challenged us. We pushed aside our plans and trusted God to lead, and He has overwhelmed us with his faithfulness.
So much of following God can appear on the outside as a sacrifice. Many believe to follow God, they have to give up happiness or pleasure.
But my friends, that is simply not true. As we follow Christ, we trade temporary happiness for real, deep-down, unashamed JOY. We trade rushed earthly pleasures for a lasting satisfaction and contentment we can only find in a relationship with our Creator. We would never hold so tightly to our own plans if we could just grasp this one truth about our God.
My hope is that you’ve read our story and come away knowing that whatever your circumstances as you surrender your plans for God’s, you will see a victory. You can rest in knowing that He surrounds you and fights for you. The battle belongs to Him, and He has prepared you for it. Now walk with Him.
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. Exodus 14:14
This is the last post in the series “Walk with Me.” But I’ll soon be sharing some pictures and stories from the three weeks we spent in Colombia finalizing our adoption. I’ll show you pictures of our encuentro day and share with you the looks on our faces the first time we saw Mila in person. I’ll share with you what it felt like to live for three weeks in a hotel in Bogotá with four children. I’ll also be sharing an insanely awesome story of how God brought us safely back home.
Photos: These pictures were taken on June 4, 2021 at a park beside our hotel in Bogotá, Colombia.
