Years ago....when Chris and I first started exploring the options regarding our infertility issues...we had spoken with all our family. We had told them about the path we were about to journey down and we asked for prayer.
Several months into our infertility treatments....my sister-in-law, Andrea, called to tell us a great story. They were saying their nightly prayers with their kids. And, as the prayers were wrapping up, our nephew Jake (probably 6 or 7 at the time) said..."We forgot to pray for Baby Will". Andrea asks..."Who's Baby Will". To which Jake answered...."Uncle Chris and Aunt Tammy's baby".
Well...for the months prior, they had been praying "If it be your WILL Lord, please bless Chris and Tammy with a BABY". Well...true to fashion for a child...and child ears....he heard "Baby Will".
I know....HOW PRECIOUS IS THAT!!!!
Well, since that time....I have been praying for Baby Will (God's Will) by that name....and when we started the journey of foster care...I also started praying for Baby Grace (God's Grace). Will and Grace represent the children that God has planned for our home...and the children for whom God wants us to show HIS love and grace.
We are His children, and we have been called to love. And we are ready....Will and Grace....we are ready!
