Memorial Box Monday

A letter about answered prayer I wrote to my "friend" Linny (who I have mentioned before - here -)

Hi Linny,

I am so thankful that you have been calling these “corporate” days of fasting and praying!!! God is so good and is so faithful to answer the prayers of his people! I have been able to participate with everyone and it is so awesome and amazing. This last time, I asked for prayer. I wanted to post an answer right away, but I didn’t want to post until the answer was complete. Now, I am not sure where to put this, so I am sending it to you. Maybe it is only meant for your eyes, but I am so giddy with excitement!

My prayer request was for our purchase of our new home. We are “legally” maxed out in this home. We want a HUGE family, (We have 4. 2 bio kids and 2 adopted through foster care.) We think God has 2 to 4 more through foster care and then a bunch of kids around the world. We hope at least 2 in Uganda. So…our small house wouldn’t cut it. There were so many things that had to fall into place, that I thought there would be no way we would get this home. Another email, I will tell you how great this specific house would be and how it came in right under budget! Anyway, my friend Leah had posted an email asking for prayer for our adoption ministry. She got an awesome answer to her prayer and stopped at my house to share and we jumped for joy! (You posted her answer.) I walked into my house after hearing that news and found my husband telling me that one of the major hurdles to the new home was CLEARED!!! I wanted to post then, but we had one more big one to go. That big hurdle was cleared yesterday!! It looks like we have a move date of Mid November! Woo Hoo!!! God is so amazing! I finally feel I can share. BUT! It is so awesome that the very day after our day of prayer, the very moment after I learned of a wonderful answer to an important request made by my friend, God would also give an answer to me and then follow it through to completion! I am looking forward to starting the homestudy as soon as we move! Talk about Yipee Jesus!

THANK YOU so much for listening so carefully to God’s voice and following through! I sure hope you are as encouraged and excited as I am. (Oh and also, I have to meet you in person one of these days because when I refer to “my friend, Linny” people look at me funny.

Love to you!
