Our family was about to double in size. <i>Prioritize!<\/i> I told myself.<\/p>\n<p>A larger kitchen table was definitely a priority. Unless we were planning to eat in shifts, we\u2019d need to find seating for eight. I penciled that in, under my note for the extra freezer we\u2019d need to store the massive amounts of food we somehow had to buy. We needed bunk beds, a minivan so we could fit the whole family in one car. The list seemed endless. <i>How would we ever manage?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d started praying about adoption almost three years earlier, after <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/entertainment\/music\/lady-antebellums-hillary-scott-heals-with-new-album-love-remains\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a miscarriage<\/a>. Our children, Amy and Matthew, were 10 and 7. I couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that Jeff and I were meant to bring another child into our family. And finally, earlier this year, I felt a conviction that now was the time. I\u2019d written in my journal the letters \u201cp.a.\u201d for <i>pursue adoption<\/i>, because adopting even one child seemed so overwhelming that I couldn\u2019t bring myself to write out the actual words. But I did tell a few friends what was on my heart.<\/p>\n<p>One friend had recently been to the Philippines to visit her sister, who was working in an orphanage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a wonderful little girl there who is up for adoption,\u201d she told me. \u201cHer name is Annabel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Perfect, a little girl!<\/i> I thought.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd she has three older brothers,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFour kids! We can\u2019t adopt four kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re so sweet,\u201d she said. \u201cTheir mother died when Annabel was just a year old. Their father was <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/parenting\/special-needs-children\/bitty-beaus-brews-possibility-for-people-with-disabilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disabled<\/a> and felt they\u2019d be best cared for at the orphanage.\u201d She showed me a newsletter that had photos of the children. As I stared at the photo, time seemed to stand still. I knew that God meant for these children to join our family.<\/p>\n<p>How exactly we were going to make that happen was unclear. My husband, Jeff , worked as a youth minister and was studying at seminary at night. Our family budget was stretched to the max. Plus, how would the family dynamic change? Could we meet the needs of not just one child who\u2019d lost their birth parents but four? How would Amy and Matthew adjust?<\/p>\n<p>That night, I told Jeff about the four siblings in the Philippines who needed a home. No, not just a home. A <i>family<\/i>. We discussed it over the weekend. He was having the same concerns I was. But that Monday night, he returned home from school <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/life-advice\/3-quick-ways-to-boost-your-confidence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with confidence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was praying about the adoption,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd I heard God speak to me. He said: \u2018Haven\u2019t I always provided?\u2019 I think we should do this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We dove right in. First, we told our kids, who were thrilled. We applied for the adoption and filled out reams of forms required by the state of Minnesota and the Philippine government. Jeff and I were fingerprinted for a background check, and we scheduled a home visit to be interviewed. We attended a seminar on <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/she-adopted-the-girl-from-her-dreams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">parenting adopted children<\/a>. We talked about how we\u2019d organize the kids\u2019 bedrooms: one for the boys, one for the girls.<\/p>\n<p>Now, seven months after we started the process, we\u2019d just been approved! It was September, and we\u2019d be going to the Philippines in November to bring our four new additions home. I was over the moon\u2014and completely overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p>I stared at the too-small kitchen table again. It had been in Jeff\u2019s family since he was a kid. But it would fit only six at the most. It just wouldn\u2019t work. To me, it symbolized this whole crazy notion. I wanted to trust in those words that God had told Jeff, but with this unfinished list in front of me, I was finding that difficult.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, my mother called. \u201cThe neighbors are selling their freezer. I\u2019ll buy it for you if you want.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, that is one thing I\u2019ve been praying for,\u201d I said. I was grateful, but I didn\u2019t think too much about it, until the next call. A mother I knew.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you like beef?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure we do,\u201d I said. It seemed like such an odd question.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo you have a big freezer?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell,\u201d I said, \u201cwe will soon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh good,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause I felt led to buy you 250 pounds of beef.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i>Haven\u2019t I always provided?<\/i> The words echoed in my mind. I had wanted a freezer. But the meat to fill it? That wasn\u2019t even on my list.<\/p>\n<p>A day later, my phone rang again. A friend I\u2019d worked with years before. \u201cDo you need a big table? My husband found one at an estate sale, but it\u2019s too big for our dining room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Calls and offers kept coming in. An older minivan we could afford. Three sets of bunk beds. By November, every item on my list was accounted for. We flew to the Philippines and after four days came home to frigid Minnesota, a family of eight.<\/p>\n<p>The first night back, we sat down at the table big enough for all of us. The kids talked and laughed over pizza. I glanced at Jeff and squeezed his hand. It was clear. This was going to work out just fine. God always provides.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I sat at our small kitchen table, working on a list of the things we\u2019d need for the adoption of four children from the Philippines.
