Book Description

My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? Lord, where were you this time? Is this how our seven-year-long journey to have children ends? Are we being punished? Are we cursed? This adoption seemed so right. I thought I was ready. I really thought I could help these kids. After all, I started life as an Orphan. Have you ever wondered where God is? How can this be happening? What did I do to deserve this? Due to your circumstances, are you questioning your faith? Does God care? Does he even exist? Thoughts flooding my head from our traumatic failed adoption and circumstances in the months following led me to this book's writing. My core beliefs had been shaken. So, to make sense of what just happened, I went back and examined my own life. I was just a little kid in a small northern city that wanted to be a carpenter. But instead, God used this to propel me on an incredible life journey throughout multiple countries and cities, complete with a stop in paradise. So many times, the odds were heavily stacked against me, life, and death situations. Yet, somehow, someway, God always showed up. As I put my life story into writing, common themes and Biblical truths started to reveal themselves, strengthening my faith. This book contains true stories of my life like parables, laying testament that God loves you and has a plan to give you hope and a future. From orphan to carpenter and beyond, the pages of this book are my life stories. But the book is not about me. As you read these words, God is working in your life. So, let's open this book and take this journey together.
