OK this is one you're not gonna believe but it's true! Sadie had some friends over for her 8th birthday Friday night and we ordered pizza from Papa Johns. I was out by the pool watching the kids and noticed Sara talking (or listening) to the pizza guy for an unusual amount of time. I didn't think much of it at the time - I just figured she knew him from somewhere. Later that night after most of the guest had left we were sitting around the table with some friends and she proceeds to tell me that the pizza delivery man had given her a word from the Lord! Seriously!
She had recognized him from a local restaurant where he used to work and they had a bit of small talk. Then he reluctantly told her he had a vision from God on his way to our house that he felt like he was supposed to share. He said he saw a fish in a fish bowl and that God was telling the fish that He wanted him to get out of his comfort zone. WOW! He started to walk away and Sara actually asked him to come back and repeat it just to make sure :) We've not had too many experiences like that in our lives where we had a word given to us from God like that. Obviously we are the fish but what is the area where God wants to stretch us? We have a pretty good idea but we're not 100% sure. We feel like God may be challenging us to adopt not 1 but 2 children from Ethiopia. I told Sara we should just keep ordering pizza from Papa Johns until He tells us for sure :) Anyway - keep us in your prayers!
