In January 2009, I was reading in the book of Genesis. My daily Bible reading/journaling had me there.
On the 6th, I read chapter 17. One verse caught my attention. In v.16, the Lord tells Abraham "I will bless her and will surely give you a son by her..." So, I wrote it down.
On the 7th, I was writing in my journal after reading. On that morning, two verses in Genesis 18 caught my attention...
v.10 Then the LORD said, "I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife, will have a son."
I said "yeah right.."
then in v.14 He said, "Is anything too hard for the LORD? I will return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah will have a son."
It is funny how we de-personalize or de-tatch the scripture from ourselves. My first thought was, "This is the story about Abraham...God isn't talking to me...It is a story about someone else...". BUT the even funnier thing is, "the Voice of Truth tells me a different story..."
I wrote this prayer on Jan. 7, 2009:
"You have shown me this twice! Two days worth. I feel you are showing me favor. It does not get any better than that. I love You so much, Lord! Thank You! I have Hope for a child. Matter of fact, Lord God, I can't wait. I will give that child all that you keep giving me. You are so amazing Lord. I love You. In Christ's name..."
Well...I guess we ought to consider changing Mendy's name to Sarah...She is having a
son!!! Look at Mendy! This is 15 minutes before we found out. She is so beautiful! Radiant at 18 weeks to the day!
Here
he is,
The Spive!!!
We were blown away laughing, full of joy....
and Praising God for His creation!! We are in awesome wonder that he has planned for us to raise this
boy!!! According to Romans 8:28, It is all good, and in our house, WE LOVE GOD!!
...AMEN
