Be Still My Heart....Tiffany's Story Will Blow You Away!

I first heard about Tiffany's story (okay...I know it's really God's story) from my DC/MD/VA adoption buddies over breakfast.  When I got back home, I wanted to read it for myself.  Now that I've read it for myself....I have to share it with you.

Tiffany and her husband had been matched with this precious little boy and were all geared up to go get him and bring him back home.  But then Tiffany uttered a small prayer to God:  shatter my heart.

So God did...in a MAJOR way.  NOT by coincidence, Tiffany meets Habtamu who becomes the catalyst for her prayer to God to shatter her heart...(read the first part of the story here: http://amomentcherished.blogspot.com/2011/01/my-answered-prayer.html)

In the sweetest way, Tiffany finds that she is also 'mother' to this amazing, young, handsome little boy as well....(read that part of the story here...http://amomentcherished.blogspot.com/2011/03/rich.html)

As if my heart can take any more of this story, Tiffany now fights likes any good 'mother' on behalf of her other boy who is thousands of miles away.  Follow their story and intercede in prayer on behalf of Habtamu and the many other children who find themselves living on the streets.  (read this final part of the story here...http://amomentcherished.blogspot.com/2011/03/other-boy.html)

So love how God is into the details of our lives.

An Interview about Our Adoption Process....what a blessing!!!

Recently, I had the privilege of being invited to speak on the topic of adoption on our church's daily prayer line. Minister Katana Dixon-Simmons, one of the hosts of the daily prayer call, asked if I could dial into the call on the day before Father's Day to talk about adoption. Katana is a bit of a visionary and has a great heart for people and has an amazing prayer life. Every SINGLE morning at 6am, our prayer team and others fellowship together through a devotion, praise reports, and prayer requests. It's open to anyone, in fact, there are some callers on the line who are not members or attenders of Zion Church.

Take a listen at our dialogue (sorry I had to cut it short because of the limited space available to upload the audio file). You may need to turn down your speaker volume just a little in the beginning but then you can turn it back up as the discussion progresses. Thanks!

During that call and afterwards, it's been wonderful to find out about others who feel God is stirring their hearts for orphans and adoption.

If you were wondering about how to connect with Zion Church's prayer line one morning (and it's totally anonymous in that you do not have to talk), at 6am daily, feel free to call:
(712)432-0175
Access code is 719479#

If that's a bit too early for you, you can listen to that day's recorded message anytime by dialing:
(712)432-0179
Access code is 719479#.
