Meet the Chryst Family.
I hunt for stories of families who inspire. I search out tales of those who encourage me to think about the hard stuff, and who stretch me in new ways.
The Chrysts are one of those families.
This family decided to act in a big way and change the life of one little girl forever.
And by doing so, this family found themselves forever changed.
This is Brooklyn’s story.
Tomorrow Brooklyn undergoes the first of three surgeries. Will you leave a comment, prayer, or word of encouragement for her family? Or bounce over to mom, Nicole’s blog and leave a word or two there?

Nicole,
Praying for little Brooklyn's surgery.
Praying for you as you go through this time with her.
Praying that Brooklyn heals quickly.
Praying for the doctors.
Praying your video touches others in a big way.
Thanks for sharing a part of you here today.
well, Amy, i'm gonna have to quit reading your blog because every time i come here i cry!
as an adoptive mom, that just brought back way too many memories :-) and if that doesn't make everyone watching want to go and bring home a dozen sweet kids of their own, i don't know what would.

Hi Amy.
It's very touching!
I'll certainly pray for Brooklyn.
On the same note...
there's someone I know, over here, who's not as lucky as Brooklyn.
She couldn't afford surgeries. She stays that way for the rest of her life. But, one thing for sure, she lives life to the fullest.
Amy, thanks for sharing this with us. I will be praying.
I tried to leave a comment on Nicole's blog. . .but I am having no luck.
I will be praying for their sweet little Brooklyn!
Steph,
You know it is my goal to make you cry, right? Ha.
Glad you liked the video. I loved it.
I am totally crying right now. Off to visit Nicole's site now...
Lord, I thank You for raising up people like the Chrysts, people who respond to the call to take in those who do not have a home. I thank you for their open hearts and their willing spirits. I pray protection over their family as Brooklyn undergoes her surgeries. I pray for steadiness of the doctor's hands and for wisdom to help him get everything just so. I pray peace as the parents wait in the waiting room. I pray that your glory is revealed, in this, and in everything.
What a beautiful story! Can't help but feel God's grace in all of it.....the way the Chryst family reached out to find and adopt their daughter.....the way He does the same for us. i love it so much! praying for Brooklyn- wow! she's a beauty! thank you so much for sharing!
SO happy I read this! I went over and couldn't believe it was about adoption! I have such a heart for that. My best friend is waiting for her ta to go get their second daughter from China. So cool! I left her Lisa's blog. Well girl..I am so crazy busy with SO much to share! You won't believe it when I tell you! Just gotta catch my breath long enough to write something coherent:) love ya!

Nicole, thank you so much for sharing your story! I just prayed for you and your little girl, for the doctors and nurses who will be attending her. My oldest is five and has undergone two surgeries, both minor. But, it's always scary when it's your baby!! God is holding her in his hands. Blessings! Sara
And these people, the Chrysts ... they live up to their name, yes? I don't know how their last name is pronounced, but I now what their name speaks to me. This one word:
Christ.
Christ.
Christ.
Inspiring story. Prayers for the family today.
Oh, my...tears here, Amy. Lovely, wonderful, heartwarming story. I'm on my way over to leave a prayer on their blog.
Pure family love. I love it.

Thanks again for sharing.
