God Answers Prayer

As I look back on our time here in Vermont, I am reminded about the power of prayer.  When we moved to Vermont (with me kicking and screaming), I was sad in so many ways...missing my family and friend, not knowing anyone, missing Texas (and the warm weather), and so much more.  We had no idea why God was moving us so far from everything we knew.  We enjoyed our time exploring New England while it was just the two of us....Boston, Maine, New Hampshire.

     

   

We were praying about doing foster care, since we had just finished our training in Texas, but we wanted to get settled first. It wasn't until August 18, 2014 that we knew without a doubt why God brought us to Vermont.  That is the day Sidney came to live with us.  We knew when he came that we would also be getting little sister when she was born as well.....only God knew we would bring her home from the hospital 17 days later. 

We began praying again that we would be able to adopt them so we could be a forever family.  On November 20, 2015, our dream came true.  We became a forever family and flew out for Texas and Disney the following day.  

Soon after the adoption, knowing our moving was coming soon, we began praying that there would be an opening in Shreveport so we could move back home.  God answered that prayer just two days before Mother's Day.  We are now counting down to the time that we are able to move back home and see family anytime we want again.  

God has strengthened my faith and my prayer life has grown so much!
