The Desire of My Heart

I am going to take a minute to share a little bit about 

myself......

For as long as I can remember, 

I have always wanted to adopt children.

Not just adopt,

but run an orphanage or foster children.

Now I am not exactly sure which one of these.....or all of these

God will use me for but I believe with everything in me that 

He is going to use me!!!

I have such a love for children,

my children, obviously....,

the children in my family,

my friend's children,

children I see or meet while we are out and about....

just a whole-hearted, let me bundle all of you up and take you home

and give you a million kisses and feed and love and take care of you-

love for children.

I know this is the calling God has placed on my life.

And I am so fortunate to have a husband who puts up with 

my dreams of a house full of kids.....

even though our 3 keep him quite busy!!

Last night I had a dream,

and in the dream, I had my 3 little loves but Lil' K was older,

like a couple of years older. 

And he and I were sitting in a recliner with about a 6-7 month old

baby girl....all dressed up, bows in her wiry little bit of hair, 

and he is just staring down at her with adoration.

And I knew that this was our baby!!

And I knew that I had not birthed this child!!!

And then I woke up......

Usually I am like, "awww man!!! Why did that amazing dream have to end?!!?"

But this morning I woke up and felt so refreshed....

like God was telling me, "I see the desire of your heart. And I care about what you care about."

And it was so comforting.

I believe with every fiber of my being that this will come to pass in

His timing.....if this is truly His will for our lives.

I don't think He would put such a passion in me only to have it 

dampened out by life, trials, and hard times....

but to make it burn more fiercely by putting Him first,

serving Him and trusting that no matter what happens

He holds my future, my life, my whole world and everyone in it,

in His hands!!!

I could not be more grateful for what I have right now!!

I am blessed beyond my imagination...

I am definitely one rich woman!!!

I look forward to what is to come and pray that I can be 

the Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister, Friend and Woman that God has and 

is creating me to be.

Our 'ism for the Day

Adia: "Mommy can I have some money to put in the wishing well? I need to make a wish." 

"What do you need to wish for Baby?" 

"Well, I just need to wish that we will have some more babies!"

 Hahaha. A child after my own heart!!!
