Our Miracle
Today our prayers were answered in a mighty way! I was sitting on our porch watching my son and a friend's son when the phone rang. I was so surprised to see the "703" area code and drew a mind blank. I think this is it! Or is it something else? I started to rise out of my seat as I answered and the friendly voice on the other end said this was my happy day!
I ran into our bedroom/Jacob's office and put the phone on speaker. At first he didn't know what was going on. But then he realized that we were getting our referral call! She (friendly voice) said that the agency has a sibling group for us. A two and a half year old boy and his BABY sister! As soon as she said we had a baby girl (2 and a half months) we both began to weep. I kept saying "this is a miracle" over and over! We had been praying in our hearts for a baby girl, but we had never officially asked for one at the agency. We just knew God would give us the children He had for our family. How wonderful He gave us our heart's desire!
We have been on the phone for hours telling our family and friends. Each time we look at their photo we are amazed. It is really hard to fathom these two children will be ours! Our minds can't wrap around that fact...and it will probably won't be "real" until we hold them in our arms!
When we are able to share more about them (after court) we have a cool story about our little boy's name. We will not be able to share photos or details until they become ours officially. This will not happen until after October for sure. The courts are closed until October 7th and then there will be a back log.
We are just praising the Lord, our hearts are so full!
