God's Leading

Someone asked me the other day "How did you know you were supposed to adopt?" I thought it would be a good thing to post here since you are all journeying with us in one way or another.
Steve and I had always felt that adoption would be a good option for us. However, as the conversation got more concrete, I was less sure if this was something I could do. God politely reminded me that this was not something I would do, but something we would do with HIM. We were at church one Sunday morning and after a particularly hard discussion with Steve about my doubts, God relieved them all.
I was standing in church singing and I had this picture unfold in my head of holding my son for the first time and it was just as clear as day that I could and would love him as unequivically as I do my biological girls.
On the way home from church, I told Steve we could go ahead and start the process because there was no longer any doubt in my mind that this was God's plan for us.
Being that sure of His plan, makes it much easier to obey. If only he were that clear all of the time. . .
In Christ,
