Sometimes we get wrapped up in life and tend to forget that God has His hands in every detail. That He molds, shapes, and crafts our lives. I like to think that I have a genuine sweet spirit and my mission in life is to serve God and to serve others. Many times I overdo it, but the rewards that come from these journeys of servanthood are fruitful and filled with joy. So this brings me to this week. As I spoke with one of my neighbors, she reminded me that as you bless others, God blesses you. Wow that is so true... I can share many blogs about the showers of blessings that God has already given us. The blessings of life, blessings of salvation, blessings of health, and blessings of love.

On Tuesday, we received an email from a public relations director in Illinois. She said that our story was powerful and that she had already shared it with the local news station in Nashville and that they were interested in setting up an interview ASAP. Well immediately Jesse and I talked about the validity of this. Is this a scam? Really our profile was online and anyone could have seen it and contacted us.. So we worked diligently overnight and on Wednesday afternoon trying to find out if this really could be true.
Well Thursday morning, the Channel 4 news station were on our back porch cameras, mics, and all to help us tell our story. As Jesse and I set out on this adoption journey months ago we developed a mission. We knew we were called to adopt, but we wanted our mission to be telling others our story. We do have a powerful story. God not only cured Jesse but he cleanse him through and through. Cancer free but more importantly Heaven-bound.
In order to fulfill these missions we must be obedient and allow the Lord to lead, guide, and direct us. If we obey Him, He will give us the words to say, the eyes to see, and the ears to hear.
Deuteronomy 28 1-14 NIV says 28 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven. The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you. The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you. The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
