Faith Preceeds the Miracle

As I've mentioned in previous posts, we feel like we're supposed to adopt, but we have no idea how. I've been questioning myself and wondering if my feelings were correct or not. This morning as I prayed, I felt again that they were right.

Then, I was reading in the Ensign (a magazine published by our church) and came across an article called What Should We Do When We Don’t Know What to Do? It was so pertinent to our current situation. To top it off, it was written by someone I know personally. Elder Ellis was in our stake in Houston and I was good friends with his daughter-in-law (he mentions her husband, Matt, in the article). You can read the article here.

This afternoon some things happened that further confirmed to me that we're doing the right thing at the right time. I'm scared to death and have no idea how this will work out, but I know we have to move forward.

P.S. Let me know if you find a spare $22,000 laying around.

I had the same feeling when I started the adoption process one year after We adopted our second. I didn't know why I was doing it just felt that it was right. Everything worked out and We adopted our 3rd child just a couple months later.
Good luck! and I wish I had 22,000
