Michelle and Dan H. (2014)

“See,” Hannah said, “a few years ago I stood here beside you and asked the Lord to give me a child.  Here he is!  The Lord gave me just what I asked for.  Now I am giving him to the Lord, and he will be the Lord’s servant for as long as he lives.”   1 Samuel 1:26-28
     
First Samuel begins with Hannah crying and begging the Lord to send her a child.  This scene played out for our house for over five years while we tried and tried to have a baby.  Frustrated and angry, we trudged down the path we chose, crying and begging, feeling forsaken.
     
Finally, and without warning, we realized there was a different path for us.  We realized that the Lord had not forsaken us.  He just had a different plan.  Once we followed God’s plan, he answered our prayers not once, but three times.  In the end, the Lord gave us just what we asked for, and it’s been more wonderful than we could have ever imagined.  Now we give these wonderful children to the Lord, and they will be the Lord’s servants for as long as they live.
