God-Moment

I had a dr. appt today in Dodge City (yes, more fertility stuff). I have to drive through Dighton to get to Dodge, and they were doing road construction between Healy and Dighton. I ended up stopping and waiting for like 10 minutes.

The lady holding the stop/slow sign was really nice (found out her name was Rebecca). She came and talked to me and somehow we got on the subject of our families (I was mentioning Josh actually). It webbed from there to her asking me if I had kids. I told her I had a teenage daughter the same age as my younger brother. Which led to another discussion for a few minutes.

I told her as I was explaining things that our daughter is adopted. She asked me if we couldn't have kids. I told her so far we were not able to, but we were always trying.

Her next question was way cool. "Do you believe in Jesus?" What did I answer? Duh.....I answered that absolutely I believed in Jesus. So she asked me if I trusted her to do something. I said sure. So she reached in my van and put her hand on my belly and prayed for me right then and there. It was a very heartfelt prayer that God would open my womb.

Ok, some people might think that this lady was weird. I didn't. I believe in the power of prayer, and if by the act of some stranger we get pregnant this summer, I will tell my story everywhere I get a chance.

I know God uses people, God has people that are his "angels" here on earth, that do His work. So maybe, just maybe, this woman was one of God's "angels" and she was just doing God's work here on Earth.

My prayer request now? That this summer, the treatments that Scott and I will be doing (meds actually) will work and that we would be expecting a little Soodsma soon.

God Bless you all and loves to everyone.
