"BIG" defined

Last Sunday I made the prediction that it was going to be a "BIG" week....and I love being right! Here's a rundown of the "BIG" things that happened:

First: "BIG" did mean "REFERRAL"....just not a referral for us. Our agency group has not had any infant referrals since October, but FINALLY one of our families was matched with a two month old little boy on Monday. Seeing some progress after so many months was "BIG"!

Second: I had a really, really tough week waiting (honestly, the hardest yet), but I have the most amazing friends and they stepped up in a "BIG" way with their prayers & encouragement. Thank you all for letting me fall apart for a few days (and for reminding me that its okay to fall apart!). My heart overflows with love and gratitude in a "BIG" way!

Third: Some dear friends of ours have been waiting for news in a situation and it finally came! I know that's really vague for those of you reading, but it was "BIG"....actually it was "HUGE"...and we are praising God for His deliverance this week!

And Last (but not at all least!): I have a close friend who has a burden for children who have waited far too long to have a family. Watching God grow and stretch her and her husband as they walk through the adoption process has been amazing. They made "BIG" progress this week, and it gives me chills to imagine what their family will look like later this year...oh, the possibilities! Its just a reminder to me how "BIG" our God is and how much "BIGGER" His plans are than our own.

So even though this week didn't bring about our referral, It was a "BIG" week in so many ways, and we're still hopeful for some "BIG" referral news to share soon!
