Something bigger than three to four
Jan 06, 2011
I wish I could write every little detail here, but I just can’t.
Our meeting with Tracy was everything I expected it to be. Moments of awkwardness that ended in a warm embrace.
It was like no time had passed. Everything was the same. Same drama. Same beautiful eyes and smile.
Something was completely different about this time though.
I’ve already shared that last time I lived in a constant state of worry, panic and fear as we waited for Little Bug to be born. It was partly from inexperience in the process of adoption and party from a lack of faith.
This time, instead of focusing on the drama, I am putting my focus on demonstrating the love of Jesus to Tracy over the next 6 months.
Towards the beginning of 2010, when Little Bug was just over 6 months old, I felt God’s leading to give Tracy a Bible. So, we went to the store and purchased a Bible for Tracy with her name engraved on the front.
I had every intention of giving the Bible to Tracy when I sent in pictures to the agency, but every time I sent pictures, for one reason or another, I never sent the Bible.
Finally, when I sent Little Bug’s 18 month pictures to the agency, I put the Bible in the package too. It arrived to the agency about a week or two before Tracy contacted the agency about her pregnancy.
At our meeting today Tracy thanked me for the Bible on two separate occasions and told me the Bible had come at a perfect time.
God’s Timing is always impeccable.
From here on out I just need to keep my heart open for what God has in store so that He can use me in any way He needs as the opportunities arise over the next half year.
I’m praying for a miracle for Tracy.
I believe that God is up to something even bigger than making my family go from three to four.
And, with God, nothing is impossible.
