I have to say though, I am thankful for a godly husband that stands for what is right! We have been married for just over eight years and it hasn't always been easy the things we have gone through...but one thing that has been easy is loving him, supporting him, coming behind him, being next to him, standing with him, and just knowing that we are together forever.
I look back at the trials and pains that we have endured as a couple and see that it is much easier to stand when you know someone else will be standing with you. One thing I hope that people know about us is that we will take a stand, according to God's Word, for what is right....no matter the cost. Did you know that there was someone who had a check written out for Princess' entire adoption and they were going to give it to us until my husband became a pastor of the little church here in town? I am not bragging...just saying, it would have been much nicer to have not had to carry her adoption loan for going 4 years now, but it wouldn't have been right to step out of God's plan for our lives to make it 'easier' for us! There have been other situations too, we will stand.
We have been placed in another one of those situations, with me expecting many people have stated how they dislike the idea of us adopting again. It breaks my heart that just because we are now able to have children (maybe with lots of prayer!) that we should give up on the desire God has placed in our hearts! Can you believe some have called us 'con artists' because we are continuing with adoption while expecting. After telling someone else about our pregnancy a response we receive, "good, now you don't have to go through with that stupid adoption stuff any more!" SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?
Needless to say we were at a cross road, but my godly wonderful amazing husband and I have spent much time in prayer and have decided that again, we must continue because it is something God placed in our hearts....and we have no right to remove it.
So, thank you Lord, for the amazing husband I have! Thank you for giving him such a tender heart for Your Will! Thank you for allowing me to spend my life here on earth next to him!
And now a picture:
I have my computer set to scroll through my pictures for a screen saver and this one has come up several times in the last week. It is from 2 years ago...half her life. But It makes me laugh, she has always been in to detail! Fancy flower shoes, her purse, her pretties, and her watching a bride walk down her outdoor isle. She has been obsessed with weddings since that day!
I love being a Mama! I love looking back at the blessed years we have had with our children already, and wonder to what the future holds with them and their future siblings!
