Now We Are Six!

What an exciting day it has been! There is nothing sweeter than hearing the words "all clear, congratulations." After what has seemed like a decade of pregnancy, the rush of relief ,and pure joy cannot be explained in words. Our appointment at the embassy was short and sweet. We arrived to a waiting room full of people ,but after about 10 minutes we were called to a window amongst a long wall full of windows. The official there asked us several questions about the girls, and about their birthmom. She explained all the paperwork we will be receiving then stamped the documents and congratulated us on the newest members of the Wiginton tribe :) Early on in this process Philippians 1:6 became my theme. "Being confident of this, that He who began this good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." He put it before my eyes, I read it....I cherished it...I rested in it. Little did I know that at certain points I would cling to it as if to save my life...and many times i felt as though it did. It reminded me of who I am. That I was not the one to start this good work, and it was not up to me to complete it. while I was incredibly aware that I was not capable of changing whatever circumstance came up. It also reminded me of who He is, and who He has always been..My Daddy had it, it was His not mine.He is MORE than able, and He is always faithful. Everytime we hit an unexpected turn, every challenge we faced, He would send a messenger to say something like, "I read this scripture and you were on my heart...I felt impressed to share it with you...I'm not sure why but, He who started this good work will see it through to completion." It was my longtime friend Amanda, my sweet Lindsey, it was the verse of the day on Bible Gateway, It was the message in the pulpit, it was my precious Jena, my long distance heart tie of a friend Lisa, my Jenn, my Keri...everywhere I turned there were couriers coming down into the valley to remind me of what He had spoken to me so clearly. So hear we are kissing our babies, and singing Jesus Loves Me. I can tell you about His faithfulness In my life for as long as you can listen. He is so good, even when things seem impossible. He always has a plan and a purpose, and there is absolutely nothing that can stop Him from carrying out His will for your life.... and to think, this is justthe beginning:)
