We were ready to have another baby in 2013. Another round of fertility treatments for me. January 2014, I began fasting and praying heavily for what God wanted in my life. We had not gotten pregnant on our own or with fertility drugs, and my heart was not in it this time. I had turned to Him completely open to what He had in store for me. I had never asked Him what He wanted for me. I had only begged for doors to be opened throughout my life. This was the moment I had no walls between me and God, and I completely committed to His plans. Our church ended the fast with a revival. I saw a little girl walk up front who was wiping tears from her eyes and her father was behind her with a huge smile on his face. She had just accepted Jesus. At that moment, I heard God's plan for me. He said, "that is my plan for you, to have children who you will teach to love me, BUT they will not all come from you." This was the beginning of our adoption journey. Never say never! This girl, who at 16 was told children will be hard for you if not impossible, just heard from our Creator that His plans are for me to have children that will love Him. That is my job! Are you kidding me, I thought. I felt at that moment so imperfect so unworthy of this journey. God is so good and perfect in His plans. I am thankful now for the infertility and the walk we have had because it has led us to our daughter Rickie. Everything is possible with God even with our imperfections. I believe that is where God gets the glory. We have enjoyed this journey! We have set this up for those who have asked about giving so they can get a tax deduction. Thank you for your support
