Israel means He will prevail.
And when Kathryn and Stan met Markus, they knew he would be theirs forever.
And when the adoption was finalized, Israel became his middle name, not only because it was a family name but because of the power and meaning behind it—
it will always be their prayer for his life.
Meet Ramsey.
And Markus.
And their newest miracle, Anna-Jayne.
Stan and Kathryn listen obediently every time God calls and realized that call may push them out of their comfort zone. Kathryn even quoted this several weeks ago about their journey:
“But God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if he doesn’t come through.”
Even when it is hard. Even when the days are long, she remembers these seasons are short.
Because the greatest blessing among this season of love, exhaustion, and transition…
…is this blessing of joy in His mercies that are new every single morning.
