The Next Step
It has been a while since I posted last. A lot has happened and the Lord has
definitely moved in our hearts and lead us down a new path. After lots of prayers and broken hearts over
the past 7 years the Lord has given us peace about the next step and we are
happy to say that we are ADOPTING!! If
you would have asked me 7 years ago I don’t know that I would believe you if
you told me that we would one day adopt.
I always thought that the Lord would allow for a miracle or one of many
procedures would work and that was the ending, but the Lord saw differently in
a good way.
The turning point for us was after we exhausted every method
we could financially afford and mentally take, the Lord told me that I was done
trying and we had a peace about it. I
can’t explain it but I knew that we had done all we could do and there were no
doubts of that in my heart what so ever. We took a breather for the rest of the
year and we wanted to hear from the Lord, “What is our next step Lord?” At the beginning of the year I spoke for hours
to a sweet sister in Christ ,Jennifer about adoption, because like us she was
unable to have children, and thru her talking the Lord was whispering to me, “Do
you want to carry a child, or do you want to be a mom?” Of course I told the
Lord I want to be a mom and that is where we are today. After hearing her story and the blessing that
her child is I knew that this is what the Lord wants for us. There will be no difference to us or our
family that this child is not from our bloodline because it will be OURS. Are we nervous, YES! Are we scared, YES! Is the Lord faithful to give us the perfect
child, YES!
I would ask for you to pray for us that the Lord would bless
us with the child he wants. We are open
to either a boy or a girl and we are even open for it being all the way to a
toddler. Please also keep us in mind if you have any family members or
acquaintances that may not be able to be a parent and are willing to consider
adoption.
We appreciate everyone’s support thru the years and
especially your prayers.
God Bless,
Terrance and Stephanie
P.S. The Lord has given me this verse while on this journey
and I am holding on to His truth.
Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
