This morning I went back to finish a devotional I was behind on and the verses I was told to read were Psalm 127, "Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him...," and Matthew 18:5-6, "And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me. But if anyone causes these little ones who believe in me to sin it would be better for him to have a large mill-stone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."
WOW!
Folks I am being a little vulnerable here or maybe its pride or both. I do not know what the Lord has in store for this family, but I do know that all 3 of my children and my husband and I have been praying for more babies. Before Little Lady was conceived I found myself looking at adoption websites and wondering of we could adopt a little girl and then the Lord gave us the most amazing little lady! We had to use clomed to get pregnant with the boys and we did not know if we would use it again, so we were looking at adoption.
At this time my mother n law kept telling us, "you will have a little girl!" and we would smile and say, "I don't know!" Well my mom n law died in August of 2008 and I was pregnant and did not know. We found out at Christmas that we were having a little lady! I know my mother n law is smiling from heaven as she looks down at our little family!
So after her birth we felt like we have 2 boys and a girl, life is perfect, we should have a vasectomy, so that is what we did. Well now here we are 5 years later feeling the stir from the Lord that we are not done. All 3 of my children on a regular basis ask about having more babies. In the middle of target one evening Boo Boo said to me, "Mom, I keep praying that God will give me a baby brother and it just isn't working." "My daughter will go into a store and say, "Mom, my baby sister that is in your tummy can wear this beautiful outfit." My husband and I both would love more children. We regret the vasectomy, but also love the thought of adopting. We have been seeking God and praying about this for years. I have asked God if it is your will for us to have another baby make the desire for all 5 of us stronger, and if it is not your will then take the desire for all 5 of us away. So right now this morning I am sitting here wondering how to go about this. My husband and I do not even know where to start. It has to be from God because my husband is a police officer and money does not grow on trees here. When I look at adoption agencies who want $25,000 I just say, "Ok Lord this gift has to come from you." So that is where we are with our adoption story! We will see what the Lord has in store for our family!
