"My God, My God, why have
you forsaken me?"

Have you ever wondered
where God is? How can this be happening? What did I do to deserve this? Have
your circumstances led you to question your faith? Does God care? Does he even
exist?

Thoughts flooded my head from our traumatic failed
adoption. "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."

My core
beliefs had been shaken. To make sense of what just happened, I went back and
examined my own life. So many times, the odds were heavily stacked against me,
life, and death situations. Yet, somehow, someway, God always showed
up.

From orphan to carpenter and beyond, the pages of this
book are my life stories. But the book is not about me or my story. It's about
God's. As you read these true stories of my life like parables, may they be a
testament that God is present and active in your life, that he loves you and
has a plan to give you hope and a future.
