Well, as many of you know already, Saturday was a HUGE success! Andy and I had an amazing group of friends working together to make our 5k special for us...and it was. Brooke, Kristen, Matthew, and so many others made Saturday the success it was. We were blessed far beyond what we had hoped for and God is continuing to pour out His blessing on us. I know I've already said this once, but there truly are not words good enough to say how thankful we are.
Sunday morning we went to Church as usual, but this Sunday was different. After the run on Saturday, other than being extremely sore from being so out of shape, I felt great and very uplifted by the kind words we received from so many people. Jay Walker, a longtime friend, said a special prayer. It should be a prayer that we all say daily. He was talking about how precious life is, and how so many children are out there without loving homes, and he went on to tell the church how Andy and I were adopting and that God had great plans in store for us and had the perfect child in mind for us. He said the sweetest prayer and Andy and I both were fighting back tears. This might sound a little strange, but during that prayer I had a feeling of peace and reassurance that God is in total control of everything we do, and that He has an incredible plan in store for us. The anxiety of the wait was gone, the not-knowing was gone, just total peace about everything. God is good and He hears our prayers and He takes care of us.
So right now we are playing the waiting game. We are "waiting" for a birth family to choose us. We are neither gender specific not race specific. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long. We are just trusting that the Lord brings us to the child He has created for us. Please continue to pray for us and the child He has coming. Pray that we are good parents and that we can raise our child in His ways.
Again, thank you. You have blessed us beyond measure!
