Never Late and Right on Time

In case you just tuned in . . . this post is the follow up to my last post—"No Darkness." You might want to give it a read before you read this one. :o)

A few weeks ago, my friends were grieving the loss of a baby because at the very last minute, the adoptive mother changed her mind.

My friends were devastated. I was devastated. And it looked, for just a second, like God had stepped out of the room.

I fought—we all fought—to trust Him.

And a few days later . . . they got a phone call . . .

Let me be the first to introduce you to Baby Barrett "Bear" Crider. Handpicked by God, chosen for Dustin and Lisa, for such a time as this.

He's an answer to some years-long prayers.

And he has come, just like God's blessings always do, in His perfect timing.
