Graham and I go to MOPS (Moms of Preschoolers) on Mondays. We started with prayer requests so I asked that everyone pray for God's will on December 12 because we were most likely transferring our last embryo on that date. After requests were finished, our speaker from The Empty Cup (a non-profit coffee shop that helps facilitate adoptions financially with their proceeds) said she felt so much peace at the moment about speaking because of the mention of 12-12. She said God puts that date, time etc. in her path constantly. After she spoke I went up to her and told her that God also had put Psalm 30:11 in my path even years before we were ttc. And when I was 30, I knew I would get pregnant in the 11th month. I did and even though I didn't stay that way nearly long enough, I've always thought about how God uses numbers for us. She asked my name and said she would be praying for us, especially on 12-12.
I put my t-shirt on that night when getting ready for bed and as I was brushing my teeth (you can see some of the evidence of this haha!) I looked down and saw the Bible reference of Romans 12:12!
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."
So whether or not God intends this 12-12 baby to become Graham's sibling, I will now always treasure this date as well. It helps me to remember He's right here with me, just as He was when I was 30 and pregnant myself. And Graham and I will continue to be faithful in prayer everyday for his little brother/sister and will do so until His plan is revealed. Please Lord let this little one be the one you have to complete our family. No matter the outcome, we trust You.
