Remember all that formula?

If you remember about a month ago, we were getting ready to leave for Africa. We had packed and were pleasantly humming along.

Then we heard about a desperate need. Three babies' lives hung in the balance...they would DIE without formula.

They only had a 2 week supply.

And we were about to leave.

God did a miracle (several really!) and we were able to deliver 2 large footlockers of formula to these village babies because of the generosity of our bloggy readers and friends!


THANK YOU!!

I thought you'd like a peek at one of those to whom you showed sweet love:

The newborn baby girl who was given life by the formula!

Mama is positively GLOWING with happiness! Don't you think?

"For I was HUNGRY and you gave me something to eat,

I was THIRSTY and you gave me something to drink..."

                               Matthew 35:35

Thank you for living out this Scripture to the least of these...

Today it snowed. A lot. As in major flakes falling at warp speed ALL DAY.

Brian went outside to shovel snow. Oliver joined him. Anneli followed. Jensi started pulling on her boots and I ran out with my camera. I turned around and saw sweet DQ (Darrah Kate as she is affectionately known) practically jumping up and down begging to be able to come out and play too!

And she got to come out! She didn't do much but stand in one place and sing "Jingle Bells," but she was happy. Hear her sing here. My heart swelled. It was her longing fulfilled.

What a delight when our longings are fulfilled! I believe God places His desires within our hearts and then He prompts us to want them and then He delights to give them to us. The whole exchange all in accordance with His plan before the foundations of the world.

I have a longing that remains unfulfilled. I have wanted to have twins. I have longed and ached to have twins. God gave me a set of them once, but one ran ahead to Jesus. That might be all for me...but I believe He has asked me to keep praying for twins. I don't understand it, but there it is: my longing remains unfulfilled. We'll see if this adoption is how He chooses to work.
