My heart and life were made new after the great transformation. My desire for alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs were gone and I have not had a desire for those things since the day I was saved in 2009."

Pain increased, and fear gripped Sally’s heart, pulling her thoughts and meditations into a swirl of “what if’s.” Time passed, and seeing no improvement, Sally began to believe her faith was not strong enough. Sally’s frightening affliction put her at a crossroads: leave her problem in God’s hands or seek medical attention. She knew her family and friends would respect her decision regardless, and continue to pray, but Sally was inspired to trust God’s healing power.

Finally, three years later, the day came when we actually adopted our girls! It was a very happy day indeed! Not just because we had received our heart’s desire, but most of all because there is a special joy in remaining in the will of God. Five years had passed between pursuing adoption and the judge’s ultimate decision. But God had already decided long before the judge had. He demonstrated His love and power on our behalf and for that we remain forever grateful!
