A little girl, the answer to our prayers!

THURSDAY, March 17 at around 12:20 pm, I received a phone call from our agency telling me that they had a referral for us. I don't think I was breathing at that point, at least, everything around me was fuzzy. This was it. This was what we have been waiting for...the call. Then she told me about a 4 month old, baby girl who would soon be our daughter, and I fell to pieces. Over the next several days I will explain the story a little more, and show you how marvelous and gracious our God is!


However, I cannot proceed with words of my own until I express my deep gratitude to my Savior.   He heard my cry.  He not only answered my prayer, but answered my heart's desire.  I am not worthy of this gift...this little girl.  Yet, He is entrusting me to be her mom.  All I can do is thank Him and praise Him for this precious gift.  A friend of ours emailed Psalm 50 to us after he heard about our girl.  (Thanks Cory!)  I could not express praise any better!
 
Praise the LORD!Praise God in his sanctuary;

praise him in his mighty heavens!
Praise him for his mighty deeds;
praise him according to his excellent greatness!
Praise him with trumpet sound;
praise him with lute and harp!
Praise him with tambourine and dance;
praise him with strings and pipe!
Praise him with sounding cymbals;
praise him with loud clashing cymbals!
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!

AMEN!  Praise the Lord!
