I have been so encouraged these past few weeks! Here are some of the highlights I want
to be sure to remember:
1. On two separate Sundays, the two men who led the
“shepherding prayer” at church (where someone prays for the needs within the
congregation) has prayed specifically for Jason and me and our adoption
process. It has been such a
blessing to be counted among all of the other expectant mothers in our
congregation!
2. A colleague brought me flowers as congratulations for the
approval of our homestudy. It was
such a lovely encouragement on an otherwise mundane day!
3. Several friends have offered to give and lend me baby
stuff. They have sent me lists of
things they have found essential, lists of things they’d be willing to give us,
etc. It’s been so encouraging to
be surrounded by friends who are willing – and excited – to support us in these
ways!
4. A friend added me to a mom’s facebook group that has
already been an amazing source of help regarding kid-related questions. It’s been so cool to start participating
in that whole “moms-transferring-knowledge-to-other-moms” phenomenon that
usually happens when a woman is pregnant.
5. I saw someone who works at an organization which
partners with my school. She said
that she heard that we were adopting, and that she and her husband had adopted,
too. What a blessing to get to
chat with someone else who has gone through the process!
May you be encouraged as well!
