I have personally received an unexpected blessing from this social media prayer/fast effort. One I did not foresee.
I woke last Monday and felt enveloped in serenity. The feeling carried with me all day. I kept thinking, "What is this?" "Why do I feel so much peace?"
Let me try to explain. For the last 5 and half years I have known our family was not complete. Knowing we have another child to add to our family caused me some restlessness. For years I have felt an unsettled feeling. Like something is missing but I can't quite place it.
Monday I felt whole... completely whole. After pondering about it, it finally came to me what I was feeling.
John records our Savior's words, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth give I unto you..." (John 14:27 KJV) This describes what I felt and have continued to feel since your efforts. Peace. An indescribable amount of peace. The word I think of is "otherwordly." I hope our birth mother, whomever she is, feels the same overwhelming peace as I do. She needs it more than I.
I cannot think of a greater gift given to me. I feel for now, my work with adoption is done. I will wait and see what happens. This may change and when it does, I will move forward in faith. But until then, I will enjoy this sea of calm and peace allowing the lulling waves to wash over me and through me.
I look forward to the day when I write saying "We have our Baby!" A miracle will unfold. I feel it deep inside my soul
Thank you for your continued prayers... they are working.
