A Miracle

This morning I was spending some time in prayer, writing in my journal. I told the Lord that I wanted Him to do a miracle in this adoption that could not be explained by Gene and me...something that was unmistakably Him. Thoughts of what it could be were swirling around in my mind and then I felt that small whisper of the Holy Spirit saying, "Don't try and figure it out...don't even write anything down...just wait...your ideas are too small." Chills run down my spine as I ponder this prayer. Sometimes I think we spend so much time trying to figure out what God is doing or telling Him what we think we need or want, that we box Him in. Yes, the Word definitely says, "Ask and you shall receive," but lately I'm finding that even what I ask can be so small...just enough, and not abundant. Scripture says He is able to do MORE than what we can ask or even imagine. That's what I long to see...more than I even can fathom. So, I proceed down this road of faith with an expectant heart...I can't wait to see what He does, both in my heart, and in the orphan He will rescue. Stay tuned...
