We traveled to Colombia, South America in November 2012 to meet our little boy Samuel and brought him home in December 2012. He's been with us for six years now and doing better than ever.

Sign from God
I just had to share this....I have a prayer journal that I write in every now and then and I was reading it tonight and was in total awe of all God has done. I prayed for God to give us a sign if a waiting child became available that was meant to be with us and wow he has given us many! But I'll just give the one that just about brought tears to my eyes....it is a beginning of a journal entry and extremely random because I do not remember praying for a baby named Samuel, but I believe this could have been around the time Samuel (the waiting child we are trying to adopt) was brought into the hospital at 8 months old extemely malnourished or sometime after during his recovery. This is the prayer I wrote ... "Lord, I pray for baby Samuel and his recovery". I was obviously praying for someone's baby named Samuel a couple years ago when "our" Samuel was recovering...only God knew at that time there was a child in great need that would be ours. Also, I have prayed many times in my journal for the hungry (especially children) so for God to choose a child for us that nearly died from extreme malnutrition and is now healthy and walking can only be a MIRACLE! All this time I've been praying for our child, Samuel has been fighting to get healthy and strong.

Jeff remembered someone from church awhile ago asking for prayer for a baby with some major health issues and our pastor just informed me his name was Samuel. The friend of Samuel's family passed out candles to remind us to pray for baby Samuel at church a couple years ago. So that must have been the baby I was praying for.
ReplyDeleteI think that is so neat, I have been praying for Samuel for a long time did not know his name yet but reminds me of a scripture of God knowing us before we where in our mother's womb and another one that He has a plan for us.

ReplyDeleteThank you! We've been waiting almost 3 years now and all along I was hoping for a waiting child and I know he is the perfect child for our family. God is so good!
