But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Galations 4:4-7
Children are a gift from God, however, they often make it hard for parents to focus & listen :)
Only nursing babies allowed
Nate and Sara Hagerty have hearts that beat heavy for those, fatherless, and for the ones that adopt them, that they would encounter the Father-heart of God. They've been married for 11 years and their family tree has stretched it's branches across the ocean to Africa. They have four former-orphans from Ethiopia and Uganda that are now a son and three daughters. They spent the early years of their marriage on staff with Young Life, reaching high school kids with the message of Jesus. Nate has since become the CEO of a marketing and consulting business, TaxProMarketer, while Sara is at home with their tribe, using her late-night hours to write at www.EveryBitterThingIsSweet.com about the message He is authoring in her life.
