Deborah,

Tonight is the first chance I've had to check my E-mail since I became married. It was overwhelming to pull up 62 new messages from CA! I thank you for each one. As I reviewed each CA message, I am reminded what a blessing it is and how much a part of CA is in my heart and life. Sometimes I wonder if it is odd or unnatural that I feel so connected to CA. I do though. I feel so much for all the children who need loving, Christian homes, the adoptive couples-to-be who pray and pray for a small voice to call them Mama or Daddy, and those birthparents seeking a way to give the life they've been entrusted with, the kind of life the child deserves. There is so much I wish I could find a way to say to you, Deborah, but I don't know exactly how. God planted more seeds in me as He formed my baby within me, that later became Lil' Isaiah.  There is no question in my heart that God directed me to place him with Matt & Brianna. Those seeds continue to grow, sprouting and blooming. I want so much to help with this ministry, but I'm unsure what to do. I wanted to share this much with you. Perhaps you can join with me in prayer, that God will reveal to me in His time what my service will be and provide the way for me to carry it out. I trust He will. Continuing to pray for all in Christian Adoption.

IN HIS LOVE<><

About a month later...

Dear Deborah,

One of my initial responses to your recent messages was to wonder what I can do. Unfortunately, in my mind, it was not in an empowered way, but almost a defeated question. Having limited financial resources, being newly married, being young--I felt helpless at first. But I did pray for others in CA. That, I guess, is how the Lord worked within me. And as  I read your most recent message, I feel such urgency from Him to respond, to let you know that He wants me to pray more and more. I believe in what CA stands for because it is what the Lord wills. Children, His Word says, are a blessed inheritance from the Lord, and a purpose of marriage is to raise up godly offspring. CA reinforces both of these truths: assuring that life will prevail, and placing that life in a stable home where he/she will be brought up in "the nurture and admonition of the Lord." I desire to continue to support CA with prayers and as a birthmother resource, because I desire to support the Lord's work. He has so touched my life in this area, and speaks to my heart more all the time, that I cannot NOT respond!

I still remember an experience I had at the end of my pregnancy. It was National Right to Life Week, and I was listening to the tail-end of Focus on the Family on my way home from a Bible study. A woman was sharing a powerful testimony about having an abortion in high school and years down the road, virtually falling into a job at Focus on the Family. She was not a believer, but she liked the job. She was just afraid her co-workers would find out about her past and she would lose her job. Eventually she accepted Christ, she admitted her past, and Focus on the Family provided Biblical counseling to her to help her deal what she had experienced. It was touching and as I finished listening to it, I saw a clear vision from the Lord --I can call it nothing less-- of myself working with young women in "crisis" pregnancies and adoptions. I saw it as clearly as He had shown me that Matt & Brianna were to be Isaiah's parents, as clearly as He had shown me His grace the night I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. And I felt such peace.

Now, over 2 years later, He has shown me much more. I now feel very called to be a mother myself, and to be a godly wife to the husband He has blessed me with. I believe that my primary ministry in life really needs to be to my family. But I also know that the Lord does not change. He has worked in my life and led me through certain "deep waters" for a reason. He has given me a testimony to share. I want, and I feel He wants me, to share that testimony with others. To share their burdens, and to encourage them.

Thank you for always listening to me and God bless you,

Becca
