'Team Bishop'

Surreal.

That's how I would sum up my feelings. It has been a long journey to get here. After years of desiring children and believing that adoption was right around the corner, we found those plans change when I unexpectedly found myself pregnant.

This journey so far has been incredibly different than a pregnancy. I do not have any morning sickness, fatigue or any other sign of a life growing. Instead it's paperwork, finger printing, background checks, meetings with a social worker, and a TON more paperwork. I have to keep reminding myself that at the end of this long road is our child.

I know that God began to work on our hearts through our infertility preparing us for the plans He has for our family. It's not as though we didn't love the beautiful picture of adoption but honestly it always seemed "easier" to have your own children. There's not a social worker asking for your autobiography, a profile to create, or a financial mountain to climb (to name a few) when you have your own.

Oh, how we have made God out to be too small.

While we are at the very beginning of this journey we have seen God work in mighty ways already.
He has placed such amazing people in our lives with unique gifts and willing hearts that want to embark on this journey with us.

'Team Bishop'

We had a handful of these friends pile in Cindy's family room yesterday to make up what they have decided to call 'Team Bishop'! They will all be a key part of our fundraising campaign, specifically our events.
It's through ordinary people like us that God can do something BIG!




Psalm 90:17
Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!
