So, on Friday after meeting with Angie
and a busy day all together, Jeremy and I went over to Mem and Pa’s to tell
them the first time about the Lord’s answer to our prayers with infertility and
the path of adoption that he has been preparing us for. Both had concerns of the adoption process, especially since we have chosen for our first adoption to be international. Jeremy and I listened to their ideas and concerns and understand their concerns reflect probably the thoughts of many. Both were worried about the monumental
financial commitment, but we assured them we have a BIG God who we are trusting
will provide. It was a lot to take in and they actually responded better than
we expected. We are thankful for my sweet grandparents who I know love and care for us more than we could imagine.
But
here is the amazing part…on Saturday morning when I woke; I looked at my bible
app on my IPOD. The verse of the day was John 14:1, “Do not let your hearts be
troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me”. So I opened the chapter to
read it in its entirety, and came to John 14:18,
“I will not leave you as
orphans; I will come to you.”
Is it not incredible how
clearly God speaks to us when we are in his word. I have always known that the
Lord was intricately involved in my life. I even began declaring a few years
ago, that I don’t believe in coincidence, only God’s providence. But it is so
true! Thank you Lord for being so very present in our lives and leading us in
this journey! We are forever grateful!
So Jeremy and I went back over to Mem
and Pa’s Saturday night. Mem was sitting on the back step smoking and when we
came through the back gate said, “I am so glad y’all came on over, I was just
praying for your baby.” Don’t I have a precious Mem. I told her I was thankful for
her prayers and that we were praying too, for that sweet baby and birthmother.
I even declared how special it will be to tell our child that we were praying
for him/her before they were even conceived. Mem said “yep, God tells us He
knew us before we were even formed”.
My precious
Mem
Lord,
thank you for loving us so much that you would give us the assurance that you
knew of us and loved us before we were even formed!
