Change

I was talking to Tyler (our temporary roommate) last night. We were talking about how we as Christians are constantly changing. This is usually a good thing. But in today's technological world it can backfire. Many pastor's are quoted for things they once said. They are usually things that were posted on the Internet and years down the road, someone uses it against them or for that particular person's agenda. Take Mark Driscoll for instance, many ultra-conservative pastors and leaders like to say he's Emergent. He was, back in the early 2000's. But C.J. Mahaney confronted him, took him to the Word and Mark left the Emergent movement. But there is little grace for some because they will quote things he said years ago and use it to their advantage.

What does this have to do with my adoption blog? Well, I'm changing. Martin's changing. The Holy Spirit is changing us. We may have said things in the past about where we want to adopt, where we feel God is leading us to, who we will not adopt and where we will not adopt. I just want to warn anyone reading this or anyone that I basically talk to: Change is coming.

Please don't hold me to things. "I thought you said..." will probably come to mind when I write or talk about adoption. God is changing us in radical ways and it's not because we're unbalanced but because we're available.
