Prayers
I have been thinking alot lately about prayers that have been answered. Not just that they have been answered, but that they have been answered in God's timing, and in His own way, not ours. I have always had Faith in God's plan. I know that I can't decide what will happen, but He will. So I have to be patient and have Faith that it will work out. It has been hard for me, because I have always been a planned out person. I have planned my life and developed expectations, that are realistic, yet sometimes not what God wants to happen. When we were pregnant with Dylan, we had never experienced so much joy and love for anything else like this before. We wanted so badly for our siblings and their spouses to experience this huge blessing that we were so blessed with. Each night we would say our family prayer and specifically pray for the siblings who were trying to have children, and the siblings who we weren't sure were trying. Even though at different times, each of our siblings have been blessed with children of their own, we have been lucky to get 3 nieces (plus 1 on the way and 1 pending adoption) and 2 nephews within 3 years. Each of their experiences have been in different timing and different ways, but equally blessed. So looking back, those specific, consistant, nightly prayers of ours were answered, in God's way of course and we are so happy for that.
A facebook friend of mine posted this on facebook. I am so glad I saw this because there have been times in my life where I have forgiven and let go of things yet other people around have a problem with me not letting the people I have forgiven be in my life. If I am happy without them, that's all that matters, I don't care what anyone thinks. It's what makes me happy that matters!
