Remember how I said that God will show us his will and that often times we are too busy to see the signs pointing to Him? I have to say that these three weeks have been an overwhelming time of God revealing himself to us.
Friday Abbi had a basketball game and during halftime there is a talk given to the fans. This time when the girls left the court they shut the door to the gymnasium. "CLUNK" Anyone who knows me or has sat with my for any amount of time knows that I'm a one-liner girl who really tries to behave. But I somehow manage to always throw a side comment around. Now mind you, I'm not saying malicious things. For instance after I heard the door clunk I said to Stacy, "Oh boy they really don't want us leaving! We're stuck! Let me out!!!!" Got it? Just juvenile stuff like that.
So imagine to my surprise when the referee was the speaker and she said, "I'm the pinch hitter tonight." (Did I mention Stacy and I have been baseball and fastpitch coaches? We get that language.) And the ref had our attention.
Guess what she wanted to talk about?
Unconditional love that we should be giving to those around us.
Guess what else she talked about? Adoption. Yep. Is anyone surprised by this if you've been reading our blog?
Didn't think so.
So while the ref talked about how she adopted 2 kids who are African American and how proud she was of that fact, Faith elbowed me in the side.
And then when she told us that her sister adopted 3 kids from different countries, Faith elbowed my in the side.
And when she told us that her brother adopted a son, Faith elbowed me.
3 siblings adopting 6 kids......
By now my side was sore and I began to think that the door that is never closed during halftime was slammed shut by God. And I had a picture that he was in Heaven saying, "Got them now."
But it's only Friday and we still have another day to fast. Maybe we'll really hear from Him on Saturday. :)
