Welcome to Litsy!

How We Became a Gospel-Centered Family Looking back, it is amazing the experiences that life will bring. Some of those experiences are memorable like the moment of your first kiss, the time you buy your first home, or the moments you welcome your children to this world. Other experiences are far more mundane like the daily routine of going to work or maintaining household responsibilities. All of our life experiences combine to form a story. In this book, I tell the story of our family which includes our beautiful baby girl, adopted at birth, who happens to have Down syndrome. We named her Faith. I want share how God has guided our personal experiences every step of the way to prepare us to be Faith's parents. We hope our story will inspire you as it reveals the very hand of God orchestrating events serving His purposes and displaying His glory.
