Blessing

Today I got a package in the mail. A kind woman who reads my blog sent some clothes. I feel so tremendously blessed.

In the box:
4 pairs capri's
1 skirt
3 blouses
10 shirts
2 long sleeve t-shirts

The thing is they are all my colors (greens, blues, and even a burgandy shirt.) And everything fits. It is such a God moment. He loves me that much that He used a blog reader to bless me. And with clothes I would have picked out in the store for myself.

I am so blessed!

Blessings

Sometimes blessings come in the least likely places. They come from situations that seem so bleak.

So many years ago when I was pregnant at such a young age I could not see the blessing that baby would be or how I would give my life to the Lord because of it. God certainly used that time in my life to strengthen me and bless me.

Once again God has sent a blessing into my family. My youngest sister told me last week she is expecting a baby. She is 12 weeks along. She is young (she just turned 20) and not yet married. Although the circumstances are not ideal I already feel so blessed by this baby (who I am sure is a GIRL.)

It does bring back lots of feelings of sadness that I went through, but I pray it will turn out better for my sister. I pray her and her boyfriend would turn to the Lord (he is not a believer, she is not walking with the Lord.) I pray that they would be all that God has for then and be blessed tremendously. I ask that you would pray that as well. Especially as her boyfriend has moved out and is not working at this time. Pray he gets a good job asap. Pray that he and my sister build each other up and encourage each other daily, and just overall are good for each other.

I am excited as I love babies. And since God has blessed me to be with home with my boys (for the time being) I pray that I will be able to watch my new niece 2-3 days a week once she is born so my sister can stay in college.

Joshua is super excited as my sister is due one day before his 7th birthday (she is due May 16th.) He is excited to get a baby cousin for his birthday. I hope he knows he doesn't get to keep her (lol.)

What are some blessings in your life that at first did not seem blessings; or where in your life can you look at a situation you are facing a new way and see God's blessings?

How does God want you to help?

Good friends of mine are fundraising for an adoption. They have the opportunity to adopt a baby boy who is not even born yet. If they can raise the needed funds asap they will get to be there when he is born and take him home. They are awesome parents. They are doing an amazing job with the children they already have. They especially love the Lord.

I would love to adopt one day, and I may; but for now I can be a part of an adoption, and so can you. If this couple is willing to raise this little boy, I can surely chip in to make it happen. Can you?

Go to their blog to read their story and to donate to make this adoption happen. Also keep them, the mother giving the baby up (she is in jail) and the baby boy in your prayers.

Thanks!
