Although His timing doesn’t always work like this….it sure is exciting when it does!
We were invited to dinner at some new friends on Sunday after church. It was an especially sweet time together. They shared how they had always longed to adopt, but due to some unexpected and overwhelming circumstances they had not yet nor did they know if they still should. {They have two birth children.}
As we visited I was able to encourage them to not let the dream of adoption die – the need is too huge! God would bring it to pass in His timing, if they were willing.

Yesterday I received a text from my new friend. She said that her husband had been talking to his mom that morning {remember this is less than 24 hours after our little visit} and his mom {who lives out of state} told him that she had dreamed the night before that they had adopted a little girl!
Talk about fast! Now, they are moving ahead, full speed, believing that that was a prophetic dream from his mom.
How cool is that?
It’s not very often that we hear such amazing stories in such record speed, but I knew that many of you would be encouraged. He is faithful. Sometimes His timing is lickety-split and sometimes it’s not…but He is always at work around us…and He definitely works the night shift!
LOVE this story! I just love it when God makes it so clear. We clearly heard the voice of God say "your children are in Africa" over three years ago as we sat in a church service. About a year later, we brought our two daughters home (2010). When God said "children" we thought he meant our two little girls. Turns out children meant we also had a 9 year old daughter waiting (she came home 1 year ago in 2011) and we are now waiting to bring home our baby boy from Ethiopia-our 7th child (we have 3 bio kids as well). So when God speaks, I say get moving–you never know who's waiting for you.

Love hearing that, so iencouraging…Once Craig and I said yes to adoption and the mission He is calling us to….He has been moving fast, we still sit back in aww…I would never of thought in Dec we would be going on a GO trip and adopting at this time in our lives…wow! we are beyond excited to walk in this..we're He says go we Go..
Oh Yes HE sure does work the night shift! Thank You Jesus for being so very faithful and for using Linny to give her testimony! Janet
Very cool indeed! Love in when God moves so quickly!
We certainly are proof of God's perfect timing! We waited 22 years before receiving our second precious child, but then in a quick three years God chose to give us two more treasures! Wow! Talk about the long and the short of it!!

Amazing! I love when things like that happen. I have had 2 moments like that myself this week. One is a new fundraising idea that we are trying. I added it to my blog this morning, so if anyone reading this needs a fun, easy, inexpensive idea hop on over!
