Lindsey and her husband were married only a few months before she needed surgery for endometriosis. She developed more complications and pain leading to another surgery a few years later. More years into marriage, the comfort into which they had grown with a childless house lessened. Over time, with the hope of growing a family traditionally gone, they realized they had left God out of the equation altogether.
Prayer for God’s plan for their family took precedent. It wasn’t a request for what was comfortable. They had grown to understand He was the orchestrator and designer of their lives. They simply wanted clarity for what God wanted for them. They began to trust Him with what seemed impossible. Then they just went about living their lives, right where they were planted.
It was simply a matter of time combined with circumstances only the Divine could harmonize before this story could become inspirational. Lindsey just happened to be in a Bible study group that suggested going with One Orphan on a Storyteller Missions trip to China. When she mentioned the possibility to her husband, she laughed as she told him what a crazy idea it was. And just like the laughter that came to Sarah and Abraham before the miracle, so did it come to this family.
Over the next weeks, God tendered Lindsey’s heart and she obediently went with her group to China to serve orphans to tell their stories. Although the purpose of the trip was altogether different, this young woman had a series of encounters, opportunities to pray, and discussions with her husband and authorities which resulted in the adoption of one of the children she met on this trip—a child who was not even available at the time.
Abraham and Sarah laughed at the prospect of Isaac in their physical states of impossibility. Lindsey laughed with her husband at the thought of making a journey half-way around the world with no prospect to speak of. In both cases, God responded to their willingness to trust whatever He had for them.
You see, God is still in the business of taking impossible situations and bringing laughter out of them. He can be trusted with your impossibility. What do you need to bring before Him today?
