Twenty weeks ago a new life was formed in Jane’s womb. This was an answer to much prayer and patience. In fact, in late September of last year, I was in prayer one night conversing with the Lord about our desire to have another child – immediately the peace of the Lord came over me and I sensed in my heart that Jane was pregnant – this was all before any tests had been taken! And sure enough, one week later Jane informed me that she thought she might be pregnant. I told her that I already knew that she was!
Be encouraged today from my story - God indeed answers prayers and gives us the desires of our heart as we delight ourselves in Him (see Psalm 37:4)! So press into God and allow Him to shape the desires of your heart towards His desires for you – and be bold in your petitions AND in your patience!
You know, back in November when we shared with you that we were expecting, the joy of the Lord so filled our hearts to be able to share this with you. It was actually hard waiting to tell you – that is the way it is when you love someone – you desire to share your life with them. Please allow me to share a little more with you today – on Wednesday of this past week, we discovered that we have a little girl on the way!
Thank you for allowing Jane and me to share our life with you. And thank you for sharing your life with us.
Loving and Leading,
Jeff Powell
