Building My Faith

I seldom go back and read my blog.  Some of it just brings up too much emotion to me.  But I went back today for a few minutes and read our adoption story for the girls....  God did so many financial miracles for us and them.  I felt like I was living in the middle of a miracle.....  I just want to share a few of those blogs on here in order....

This one, we realized just how much more money we needed.....Note the date...Dec 28 2011....

http://myreallifebyyvonne.blogspot.com/2012/01/faithfulness-of-god-we-got-another.html  note the date on this one.....January 1 2012.....  (and it was written about the miracle that happened on Dec 31 2011

Actually if you read from September 2011 till Feb 2011, there are crazy miracles after miracles happening.....it's something else.  I'm so glad I wrote it all down, so many little details I had forgotten but reading it brings everything back. 

Reading over those few weeks, was like a balm to my soul.....   God showed Himself to be so faithful to us and the girls. 

I don't understand all of God's ways, I don't know what the future holds for us for Selah but I know God is good and He is Faithful.  Looking back at their story, makes me know there is more ahead for us, not necessarily financially or materially, but spiritually.....this is not it.  God will remain faithful to us and to our girls just like He was in 2011! 

Reading these blogs makes my faith rise and also makes me sad, remembering all the amazing things and feeling like the future was so bright....  This is another time when I just have to trust God and not be afraid. 

I've said and thought so many times that our girls' story was like a Cinderella story but I never thought the story would have this part in it.   Somehow I just have to know this is not how the story will end for us and for Selah.  Please continue praying for our little LaLa that God will heal her mind and bring her back to us.

Today was 31 years ago that my  great aunt "Boot Mama" Bertha Phillips, the lady who raised me died.  She was born in 1899....took me as a baby in 1965 at the ripe old age of 66!  She loved me and cared for me until she left us first from dementia and then in death.  I hope she knows now what she planted in my heart all those years ago.  I literally owe my life to her and probably three little ones from across the ocean do too.  I love you Mama!
