Unanswered Prayers


God sure does work in mysterious ways, doesn't he? You know, for years Brian and I prayed for a baby of our own with no answer. Then, we became foster parents and then we adopted Konnor. What we didn't realize at that time was that God was opening those doors to us to become Konnor's parents. At first, we were a little apprehensive about raising another couple's child who looks different from us, has a different medical history, different blood, different DNA, etc. Do you know what we have discovered over the 4 years Konnor has been in our lives? We are more alike than we ever imagined we would be. We think alike, argue alike, we are all definitely the most stubborn bunch of people I have ever met, we have alot of the same ideas, views, and opinions on things, like and dislike the same kinds of foods, we all bleed if we are cut, we all put our pants on 1 leg at a time... I guess you get my point. It is just amazing to me that Konnor was brought to us under not so good circumstances and has grown into a handsome, talented, smart, healthy and entertaining young man who has a very bright future. I could not have asked for more if he were my biological child.

You made me tear up while reading your blog today. God does work in ways that we don't always understand....at first. Sometimes we have to make it through some tough struggles to make it to the good stuff. Welcome to the good stuff! Love you!
