God Keeps His Promises

When Adree and I first found out we were pregnant with our first, we were very excited. We were, however, worried as to whether or not we'd have the finances to provide for another member of the family- we were barely providing for the two of us. A few months ago, we attended a broadcast, a World Wide Training Meeting of our church in which some of our leaders, including two apostles were present. We were both touched and comforted to hear one of them say that having children and creating families was what God wanted us to do and that by doing it, we would be blessed.

Bryson was born two months ago, and since then we have seen that promise fulfilled countless times. God truly has blessed us. He's blessed us with a healthy, happy, and wonderful son who brings joy to our home each and every day. He's blessed us with all the things that we've needed. Despite not having Adree at work these last few months, we've always had enough and never wanted for anything. He's blessed us just recently that Adree has found a new job, one which she feels comfortable at and that allows her to spend more time at home like she wanted. He's blessed in countless other ways, some of which I'm sure not even we have noticed.

How wonderful it is to know that God loves us so much and is so aware of our every needs. He does care about us and wants to bless us; all we have to do is trust in Him and do as He asks of us. We may not always get what we want from Him in the time we want or how we want, but He's listening and He ALWAYS answers.

I agree kids are one of the best blessings and having them without pushing it back farther in your lives only enriches your life more, even if you think you're going to struggle. I'm happy for you guys & things falling into place!
