**if you are a 'project open arms' reader, you already know this **
there is this website I visit that has a bible verse for the day, I usually log on and check out the verse of the day right away in the morning along with checking my email. March 5 was a really good verse and I wanted to share it with you. It is from Isaiah 25:1 "O LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things, things planned long ago."
God has done marvelous things for us! You see March 5, the same day I read that verse on the website, Robb and I found out we are going to be parents again through the miracle of adoption!
The newest member of our family is expected to arrive sometime this Spring!!
I am just BURSTING with JOY.
My heart is OVERFLOWING with LOVE.
We are PRAISING His name.
God's plan is so perfect.
Just four short days after the 1 year mark of our son's death the Lord answered our deepest desire.
Just four short days after the 1 year mark of our son's death the Lord answered our deepest desire.
"The Lord gives and the Lord takes away my heart will chose to say "Lord blessed be your name!"
"Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart" (Ps. 37:4).
