A Prayer Answered

It is amazing to think that it has been over ten years since this group of girls walked the 2nd floor of Adams hall and ran around Sibley street! Sure, times have changed! Discussion has turned from sorority parties to husbands. The definition of a late night has turned into saying goodnight at 11 o'clock. And dinner is no longer at the cheapest place we can find on a college budget. Times have changed but what amazes me is that we always pick up just where we left off. These girls have become people that I love!
About twice a year, we get together to spend some "me" time, something we all look forward to. However, this time, I was extremely excited because I was finally going to meet someone that we have been praying for for a long time (even before we knew her name). Baby Edan was a gift that God sent my friend Lauren and he sent her all the way from Ethiopia! What an adoption story. My heart was warmed as I listed to Lauren recall how God showed up in a miraculous way, clearly guiding them through their entire journey.

Through the weekend, I was reminded that God calls many people to do extraordinary things! What amazed me about Lauren, is she did it and in response, she was blessed with a beautiful daughter, a daughter from the King! I am so happy for Lauren and know that God's hand is in this beautiful girls life! What an amazing thing to witness!




The baby shower we had was centered around Edan's birthplace: Ethiopia! It was fun hearing about cultures and traditions held in that country!
