Miracles

Rejoicing today to hear that a fellow mom and child of God was miraculously brought back to life after being found collapsed on the floor and no longer breathing....you can go read about it on Julia's blog Praise God! Please keep Katie and her family in your prayers. Also on another favorite blog of ours, Adeye shared today testimonies of many amazing mommas who are raising children with special needs (both from adoption and from birth). Each accepted God's calling to love these precious ones that He dearly loves, and share how they are richly blessed through it. Sometimes it is easy to feel alone as a momma to special needs orphans so it was a blessing to me to see all these families, and their love inspires me to be the mommy He calls me to be for our children. Also reminds me of HOW MANY there are (and so many more need families) and gives me goosebumps to see the miracles God works when these children receive the love of a family. For us, yes, there are challenges...like Joshua crying/screaming and managing to spit out most his oatmeat all over himself when trying to feed him, or Lily hitting off my glasses for the millionth time, or Sean laughing and being a big stinker everytime his siblings change his diaper.... but they are dear and precious and LOVE and LIVE exuberantly. We are learning alot... hope to do a post about that soon.
