Over the last 10 years I only saw my oldest child on the obligatory holidays and the occasional birthday. My youngest would go 2 or 3 years with out contact with me.
My heart would ache to see them. Even though I had relationships with my 2 middle children I missed the other two and longed for the day God would move on my behalf and bring us together.
Every year I would pray and claim household restoration, but nothing seemed to be happening. I know God is a restoring God, a healing God, a merciful God, I know it was not in His plan for me to be separated from them for ever.
At times I would grow impatient, I would cry, I would complain, I would be angry and jealous of those they chose to be with instead of me.
Last year started out the same as all the others, me claiming something that seemed impossible.
My oldest, her husband, my youngest son and his wife met for brunch on Mother's Day. I have learned to cherish the little time I got to spend with my oldest.
As we sat there eating she announced she was expecting twins in Nov., something in my heart came alive, I couldn't stop crying for joy. I didn't know if I would be a part of their lives, but I know the Holy Spirit was letting me know my wait was coming to an end.
I've been unemployed since March 09, completely unable to find a job. All this time I kept saying I didn't know what God had for me, but I knew He had the perfect job since I had to wait so long!
In July I was asked to be the "Granny Nanny" for the twins. Never in my wildest dreams would I have hoped to ask for this. The perfect job for me.
God, in His infinite wisdom, was answering my prayers from the last 10 years in His perfect time.
The boys were born in Aug., three days later the littlest one went to heaven. We will always miss him and he will always be a part of us.
When my daughter wasn't at the hospital with our precious survivor I was able to sit in his room and just be with him.
Now I am with her helping everyday.
God is restoring what the enemy had stolen from her and me.
Tonight I ran over and had New Year's Eve dinner with them and hung out for a little bit before coming back home to share this with you.
If you are reading this and missing someone please don't ever give up. God is a restoring God and He will restore back to you what the enemy has stolen.
Keep praying, keep fasting, keep believing no matter how many years it takes. Take it from me those years are well worth it when God moves suddenly and brings your loved one back to you.
If you are reading this and want me to stand with you in prayer for restoration leave me a message. I would consider it an honor to pray with you.
Blessings,
Wendy
