This past year I began looking into areas where I could expand my educated in the areas in which we at MARKED work, I am a firm believer in continuing education in every and all forms. For me, most my eduction has been hands on and come in the most unique forms. I guess it often has to be to navigate some of the types of things we do! With that said, nothing was landing so to speak. I assumed it was due to the pandemic as most the courses I was looking at were being postponed or canceled all together.
Turns out, like always, God had a different plan. It was in February this past year I got a phone call out of the blue from our adoption consultant who we adopted Everly through asking if I would be interested in joining their team.
It was in that moment I felt like the Lord said, this is the next step of eduction you were asking for.
After praying and pondering through a few things, I realized I had worked in the foster care and international adoption space but never in the area of domestic adoption. Not only did it feel like a full circle moment, but there was so much peace and rest on my yes.
A few weeks later, I became active with Christian Adoption Consultants in my role.
Not only has this been more than I could have hoped or dreamed, expanding my knowledge and skill in the space, but it has been so fun helping couples build their families through adoption.
MARKED is thriving, and despite the busyness of this season, it has allowed us and given us space to also grown our team on the ground in Mexico expanding our reach.
My prayer for you in this season is that you would encounter unexpected growth in all areas of your life, and that you would feel supernatural peace and rest on your yes.
