September 2, 2012 - Heavenly Coincidence?

During the church service today, there were four baptisms. It was Lindsay's turn to take the baptism pictures. After the service, Lindsay was back in the prayer room waiting for the families to come in the room. While waiting there, a lady from the church approached Lindsay and asked her if she belonged to the Cooper family. She said yes and wondered why she asked that question. The lady continued to tell Lindsay that when she walked into the prayer room God put it on her heart to pray for the Cooper family. She went on to talk about how God was telling her it had something to do with children or something like that.  I imagine Lindsay's chin hit the floor about that moment. Lindsay began to tell her about us adopting. The lady replied, "Oh, how wonderful! I had no idea you were adopting! Yep. That must be what God is putting on my heart. I will be praying for you and your family."

God must have known that our hearts are getting anxious and a little nervous at this point.  It's exactly what we needed to hear that day. That God IS still in control even when we are fearful and we should find peace in knowing that He will never forsake us.  God is good - and He is able.
