So, it's been a little over a week now that Shawn has been home. Read that again....SHAWN IS HOME!! He is home friends! God is faithful and oh so good! Emotional. It has been an emotional time. I haven't gotten to actually SEE him yet, because I live in MO and well....it's a little more difficult than it seems. However, we are changing that in about 2 weeks. I will tell you that day, the days leading up to his release, were taxing. It didn't seem real. Something we, I have been praying for, believing for was finally happening. It was FINALLY happening. God was answering.
I won't ever forget the moment I got the phone call that he was with my parents. I was at school (I'm a teacher). I said, "hello?" and with tears streaming down his face, I heard that voice, "Andrea, I'm home." I didn't think I would cry, but boy did I. Right there, in my classroom, in front of all my kids, crying like a baby! SO many emotions...He did it! God brought him home! A 10 year prayer had been answered...my faith was so high in that moment! If He could bring Shawn home, and answer that prayer, why wouldn't He answer my baby prayer? Why won't He give me a baby? He WILL!! I know it with every fiber of my being...He will!
Friends, don't give up! Don't stop believing, don't stop praying, don't stop trusting in the One who has it all! He is faithful! We may not always understand what or why He is doing things the way He is, but we trust Him all the same! If anything, I have learned that He writes our stories much better than we ever could! It's much more beautiful if we just let Him do it!
Still Dreaming,
Andrea
