You know how you'll be reading something and it seems like it just speaks to you, and you re-read it a couple of times, and smile? I was reading Plan B by Anne Lamott and this sentence was so powerful to me: "When God wants to do something wonderful, He always starts with a hardship; when God wants to do something amazing, He starts with an impossibility" With Cami and Jude, God started with an impossibility, that I couldn't have a baby, and did something amazing, something that I could have never guessed would happen. That He would lead Cami to John, after all John had been thru, and then bless Dave and me with not only her beautiful presence, but her actual offering to have our baby. It is bizarre to think when I was going thru those miscarriages, God really did have an incredible plan that I could not see at the time. I wish He could have told me, from 1997-2007 that something truly awesome was coming. Who knows the reasons why He allows things to occur the way they do? Not me; I'm just glad He does work all things together for our good.
