{Footprints in the Sand..}

This morning, as I was on the beach, I saw many footprints in the sand. (the benefit of being in Florida in October) As I saw them, I was quickly reminded of how Jesus is with us always. The image of two sets of footprints walking side by side. Then when there is one set of prints, it is Jesus carrying us not leaving us.

Throughout the last two weeks, there have been times when I was at the bottom, just ready to burst into tears, to have doubt flood my mind, to be filled with lies of the enemy. And in those moments, someone would randomly text, email, or facebook me that they were praying for me. It was through them, that Jesus was carrying me. Their prayers brought me back to relying on Christ and being filled with renewed strength. It didn't just happen once, but many, many times. It is beautiful how the body of Christ works.

Currently, we are still waiting. As I said in previous posts, we are not in a typical adoption situation. We do not have the luxury of hearing from the birthmom. It has been awhile since we have had an update. We have to wait for the birthmom to contact the agency. So I know she has reached 36 weeks!!! That is huge when carrying twins. The likelihood of them needing to be in the NICU goes dramatically down now. I know the birthmom has not seen a doctor in a long time. So I don't know how close she is to delivering. But I trust my God and I pray that they will be born healthy. I pray for the birthmom as she is getting closer to the end of her pregnancy. From what I have read, carrying twins is very uncomfortable at this point in the pregnancy. So I pray for strength for her. I pray that she is filled with Christ's love and that she has an overwhelming sense of peace within her soul. I pray that God fills me with strength as the waiting is hard, the not knowing. That I would just rest in his peace also.

Hopefully my next post will be one that introduces the twins. All is God's timing.
