The Brice Family- I see hands waiting to hold more children! |
Yesterday was Orphan Sunday, and my prayer was "Lord, please let our family make one less orphan in the world." This time next year, Lord willing, we pray an orphan will be a part of our family. Our picture above makes me smile, but I want there to be more children in our pictures. Brody was praying last week, and his prayer became so desperate. He was talking to God, "Please give me baby. I don't care if it's a boy or a girl, if it's one or two, if it's little or big, if it's black or white or brown, God please give me a baby." Of course, I got teary eyed hearing him cry out to God. It was so precious just hearing how much his heart has change in the past year. He is open to whatever God has planned for our family.
Waiting is hard, but it is also a blessing!
I see how our hearts have changed during this time of waiting.
I hear how our prayers have changed.
I know we are dependent upon God to multiply our family.
I desire for our family to be completely available to God.
I'm thankful we all stand together saying, "God, use us however you desire!"
I will wait upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised!
He is definitely going to be a different person because waiting for his yet-unseen brother or sister -- how sweet to hear his heart poured out like that in prayer. And I know the wait will change people who are watching you . . . I love how God uses us to change hearts!
