I never would have thought I would marking this as an anniversary...but it has turned into one. We thought we would be a family of seven by now ... not just in our hearts but physically as well. We continue to rest on God's timing and the knowing it is perfect. But believe me, we have tried and continue trying for God's mind to be set to sooner rather than any later.
How does one celebrate this day? How do we mark this day, and one full of thanksgiving and joy not one of doom and gloom?
My husband stayed home today. It wasn't something planned, but he knew he needed to be with me today. Not just for this day, but just because. We went to the pastor's weekly meeting today and they prayed over our situation and over us. Today we remember that three years ago, God laid a little boy on our hearts and we obeyed His prompting and we committed to him. Three years ago, God changed our lives. Even though our arms continue to be empty, we are grateful for the faith God has increased in our lives and the strength, peace and protection He continues to provide.
So yes, today is three years our family hasn't been complete (at least physically). But more importantly three years ago our family has been in the palm of God's hands on a hard journey and it has been only Him that has carried us through. We are forever grateful!
