While running around today, with list in hand, every now and then I would think, where is God leading us?
I’m still trying to grasp buying outlet covers, cabinet locks, etc. for a child we don’t even know about yet. But, then I know that God knows (and has known since the beginning of time) who our child is. He is watching over them and protecting them, forming them in their mother’s womb…as we speak.
Through this process, God has revealed many things to me. Adoption, being a stay-at-home mom, homeschooling, etc. Recently He has begun to place something new on my heart…
I’ve always assumed I would have 2 children…boys preferrably. The “American dream” if that’s what you’d like to call that. But, as of lately, I’ve been having dreams about little girls…I’ve been able to say, “how ever many you bless me with, God.”
The sermon yesterday morning was entitled, “Children are a Blessing”. In the time that we have felt the call to adopt, I have really been able to grasp the concept of children being a blessing. Imagining daily, holding my child in my arms, watching them as they sleep…and now I could never imagine saying, “Two is enough.”
I want to be fully open to what God has for our lives, through adoption and biological children. I know that if it’s His will for us to have children, He will provide the means to take care of how ever many He blesses us with.
And until then I can say, “There all yours, God!”
I have said it before, and I’ll say it again…this road hasn’t been easy, but I am forever grateful for the things that God has opened my heart to in this time…His timing and will is always perfect!
