Things to Come

The Lord woke me at 4:30 this morning to the sound of the train whistling in the background and the following words, "I have much to tell you. Be ready. Be excited." Ready for what, I wondered. "For greater things to come. If you will listen, I will direct you, guide you, and the blessings will be of far greater reward. Things are moving. Things are changing. Even as you pray, they are in the works," He revealed to me. As I have shared with you before; if I am still and listen, I hear the Lord much like one hears their own thoughts. Those are the words I heard upon awakening this morning. I also have a sense that we are to prepare our house for Eden and the Home Study. Yes, there is that "prepare" word again. The Home Study is one of the first steps in the adoption process. While the Social Worker cares more about poking and prodding into our lives than she does our house, there are still a few things that need to be done.  We desperately need to replace the flooring in the living room and down the hall, the garage door opener is broken and needs to be replaced, and the girls' room...well Abigail probably needs more than just a mattress on the floor.  I guess there is work to be done, and things to keep us occupied as we wait upon the Lord to provide.

Ohhh...the little boy that I spoke about on, March 2nd, has a family interested in him.  This family is having his medical records reviewed by a specialist. I am praying that this family is his Forever Family. This is confirmation that the Lord already had a family out there for this sweet boy before we even saw him. God is good! We are also praying for a 12 year little girl who is desperately in need of a Forever Family. If a family does not adopt her, then she will be on her own by age 14.
