All the Glory to God!

Thank you God for your blessings! We spoke at Christ Chapel today about the adoption. We feel so blessed to have the opportunity to share "Our Story". I can't help but imagine our little girl in an orphanage somewhere in China, no mom no dad (yet) to hold her, love her, sing to her, rock her. But God reassures me in my heart that He is taking care of her even now, He is the "Father to the fatherless, defender of widows — this is God, whose dwelling is holy. God places the lonely in families. Psalms 68:5-6." God knew four years ago when I was hoping for a little girl as my third child that she would not be born from my body but from my heart. He blessed us with another precious boy but left the desire for a daughter in my heart for a reason. I had given up the hope of ever having a little girl, but God knew that was not His plan. He already had Khloe picked out for us. It amazes me when I think about how good God is, how perfect His plan is for our lives. Psalm 37:4 reads, " Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires." Thank you God for your favor on our family! Thank you Christ Chapel for your generous donations, thank you Melody for your cookbooks, thank you to all who gave or bought something at the yard sale.  I will paraphrase 2 Corinthians 9, "They (Christ Chapel, Melody, Sheila, others who donated) share freely and give generously...Their good deeds will be remembered forever." To God be all the glory!!!!
