Last night I saw a post for fundraising for a couple who is doing a domestic adoption. I did not recognize them but the person who shared the page was a girl I went to school with in sixth and seventh grade. I felt God say "give some money and let them know you understand with an encouraging word. This couple is right where you are." So I did and wasn't going to give it a second thought, but then pay pal wouldn't accept my card. This is when I had a choice to make: take the extra time to follow God's prompt or just say "oh well I tried." I am SO glad I took the extra time to go find Stephen and get his debit card because what I found after I gave and read a little more about the couple was Stephen and myself. I found a girl who I went to school with for one year fifteen years ago. Her husband and she have been married for seven years just like Stephen and me. They have experienced infertility, done IUI and are now trying to grow their family through adoption just like us. And these are the words she messaged me ...
"Wow--you do not know what this means to me! I have been praying that God would send someone who has a similar story to ours that would give me someone to talk to and relate to."
God please forgive me for the times I feel I am too busy to follow your prompts. Soften my heart to hear your voice and may I follow and obey immediately. While I still do not know completely why this is the lot and journey you have given us thank you for using it and showing us through circumstances like these that you are in control and you use all things for the good of those who love you according to your will and purposes!
