Melt my withering heart

I have to start off by saying that these past few weeks have been very difficult for me.  I know it is because I am really trying to focus on my relationship with Christ, which in turn makes Satan jealous...so he attacks harder. 

Last Friday while at the Wee Runs consignment sale, I was sitting in the floor with my aunt sorting clothes.  We were talking about Miracle and she over heard our conversation.  She had a friend with her who I started talking to and she is a labor/delivery nurse in Lexington.  The other woman was a speech teacher in Davidson County.  After talking to her she wanted to have her Sunday school class pray for us...yes!  We were all teary eyed about the conversation that we had. 

Yesterday, I got our quarterly update from Bethany.  It mentioned the they placed 21 infants last year, over half were transrationl, birthparent pass through expenses averaged $1,837, many open adoptions, and lots had to have TPR (terminated parental rights)extra court cases because of unsure birthfathers.So needless to say, we have be seen a little down lately.

Mehya (a special friend mentioned way back) who is adopted with special needs from Korea is now in the third grade.  I rarely see her now and I passed her in the hallway.  I just said "hi, Mehya"

This is how my heart melted:

She stopped to ask:  "you got your baby yet?"
Me~ "no-remeber that it is growing in my heart".
Mehya~ "can I feel it?") 
Me~I put her hand on my heart.
Mehya~"It's growing in your heart?"
Me~Yes.
Meyha~"It takes a long time?"
Me~"oh yes, a very long time."
Mehya~"that's not good"
Me~"yea, all we can do is pray."
Mehya~squatted in the hallway, folded her hands and said "oh that baby is so darling"

Oh. My. Word.

Tears were straming down my face, and when I was able I went to her mom's room to share that little story.  Thank you so much Mehya for making my day. Hopefully it won't take much longer.
