The Power of Prayer Part 5

Annie’s Amazing Story

Sometimes we just can’t understand what is happening in our lives but then God gives a glimpse and we are blown away by the incredible God we serve. I have never met Annie face to face but hope to someday (maybe on our way to China). God led me to this compassionate woman who advocates for children waiting to be adopted, especially special needs and older children. She was the one God used in so many ways to bring the pieces together in finding our son. I will forever be grateful to the Lord for connecting us. She is a dear sister in Christ. When I met Annie they had just begun the process of adopting their 2^nd little girl from China. (Her picture is down the middle on the left on my blog) but her husband lost his job which put the entire process on hold. There are no words to describe this awful feeling knowing your child is waiting on the other side of the world and you can’t continue to go get them. We prayed and prayed and prayed as so many others were for this family and for her husband to get a job. Months went by and then just recently he got a job!! His job is in another state and they will have to move. Adoption papers began flying full steam ahead.  Annie’s family will be moving away from her extended family and the only home their kids have known which will be a difficult transition but they have been blessed to be moving closer to her hubbies’ extended family but that is not the best of it. Annie just got new pictures of her sweet girl in China and in the picture is a little 2 year old who is very attached to her daughter and her daughter watches over this sweet little one. The two of them are very close. The little two year old has a forever family and guess what? Out off all the places in the US this little girl will be living close to Annie and her family. Yes, God is so AMAZING! These two girls on the other side of the world will be living within a few hours of each other. Our incredible God knows exactly what we need before we even know. He cares for the details of our lives, details of two precious little girls that He loves so dearly on the other side of the world waiting in China.
