God hears our supplications,Our testimony.

Good afternoon to all of our family and friends. I was sitting on the couch a few minutes ago reading my bible and drinking some nice warm coffee. When all of a sudden I started to read my bible and some verses started to remind me of how God heard my prayer,answered it, and then directed us to a path we never imagined. So I feel that now for some reason is the time to share this powerful exciting testimony of what the Lord did for us. Just maybe God knows someone who needs to hear this or someone that is gonna run across our blog. Who knows,but I feel it now to post this.
So here goes:
I will start from the beginning so the Lord can paint the picture of this whole amazing story. Shane, I and our son Bailey had been bouncing from church to church trying to find where the Lord wanted us. After a while,we found where the Lord wanted us to be. We had been going there for about a year. We had a revival at our church "Lonestar" during a week in the cold winter months. So on a Tuesday night,we decided to go and hear the Word of God. I still remember the evangelist and his name, Bro. Hernandez. This was a very prophetic and annointed service,the kind that your sitting there thinking "Oh no,what is the Lord gonna say to me,but in a exciting and serious way. Gutwrenching, but peacful if u can picture that. Sitting there listening beside my husband and family,I really was feeling the Lord. I will never forget what he said to my husband...the Lord wanted Shane to know that if he kept faithful,our families would be saved. I still believe this and it is happening. Finally there was a altar call, and I know the altar is really your heart. I decided to go somewhere to pray and I went to the back pew of the church. I remember just laying my head down on the pew and praying about things. I rememeber one specific thing that I asked God for some reason. When we had Bailey,we just decided to have Bailey and I know God gave us him and we are thankful. I never did once think to ask God for Bailey,I didn't know how,and we wasn't in church.
On this specific night I said "Lord I pray that Bailey would have a brother or sister,I ask you Lord if it is your will? I was sobbing and continued praying on. Then all of a sudden the music just stopped and the entire church got quiet and Bro. Hernandez said that he just received a message from the Holy Ghost, (he said this across the pull pit over the microphone) that "God says that someone in this church is praying for a child, and God told me to tell you that he is gonna put a child in your womb right now." I set there amazed,quiet not saying a word,shaking. Keep in mind that this person was from out of town,we didn't know him and he didn't know us,the first time we had ever been to a revival and the first time we heard him preach.
After the service I told Shane about it and that was it. In the back of my mind the devil was telling me that "It is not you ,there are other people in the church that want kids. Then in the front of my mind God was telling me "It was you that I was talking too." I was so hard headed. But God is teaching me.

So anyway time went on...one day I decided to take a pregnancy test and I wasn't even late yet,and sure enough a Positive sign. I thought well this might be wrong,so I took another and it was positive. Then I was reminded what God told me. I still just kept on being quiet waiting for someone else to come up pregnant. Well guesswhat..no one did. I was getting larger by the months and sick as a dog!

One morning,I was driving to town and I met my husband coming home...he pulled me over and we talked. He told me about how him and this guy at work had been talking about adoption...I was puzzled. No telling what my face looked like. He told me how he has thought about it before,but never said anything. By this time we knew our little Adyn was a boy.:0)Keep in mind that all was going good with the pregnancy. I felt healthy as a athlete,just sick. So after praying,thinking,talking...we decided that if we ever had anymore it would be thru adoption. To give a deserving child a home and a chance for a good life, and just maybe it could be a princess to go along with my princes. We knew thru God by then, that family was about LOVE,it didn't have to be blood.
So months went on and it was finally time to go in and have Adyn thru a planned C-section. Yikes,after being thru nursing school and knowing what goes on behind closed doors,I was nervous as a CAT on a HOT TINNED ROOF!! I almost thought about telling them I had changed my mind and I wanted to try to have him normal. Then Shane walks in and grabs my hand and I said Jesus be with us and I then had peace. I kinda fell asleep but awake,I knew what was going on and heard everything. So as the surgery proceeded...My doc MR. D. was operating and talking to a med student. Now before this sugery Shane and I decided to have my tubes tied,keep in mind...to us all about me was healthy. Little did we know. So then I hear the doc talking and then he said "Mrs. Fenwick,it is a good thing that u all previously decided to tie your tubes,he contined to say,"Your uterus is as thin as paper and u have about stage 3 endometrosis and I do not see how medically you carried this baby.?!" He continued to say" You do not need to have anymore children." When I heard this..this quiet voice from the Lord said "See, I told u it was you that night u prayed." Then I was so thankful and konked out for good. I was so happy and so thankful that God heard my supplication and gave me my confirmation.I knew then that at church on that cold night during that revival that the Lord HEARD me. We didn't know that medically I couldn't have Adyn. That is why I was praying that night at church asking God for my supplication,the Lord put it in my spirit.
When we didn't know,God was directing our path to Adoption. I know now why Adyn was a boy,God wanted us to bring home our daughter thru the blessing called ADOPTION. I wouldn't change anything for nothing.

So our journey contined...we had Adyn and all was a blessing. Life brought us some suprises we liked and some we didn't. Finally we decided to apply thru AIAA for the Korea program,well after App #1 it got shut down. So that door closed. In fact the thought of adoption went way to the back of our minds. Life went on and we lost some special people in our families. God knew at that time what the future held and that adoption needed to wait and that we were going in the wrong direction. That is why Korea didn't work.
So in Jan of 2008,God started stirring hearts again. We felt that the time was right. The Lord led us to India and after praying and thinking,we decided India..and the peace I felt was astounding. I remember sitting on my back porch full of joy and peace and I told Shane India it is. He felt peace too. Now that I think about it, a while back before any of this happened...I remember looking at a international book on adoption programs and I was so drawn to the pages of India,but this particular agency wasn't taking any NON- NRI applications at this time. I remember telling Shane "What about India,you never hear of people adopting from there". So time went on and God lead us there to India in Feb. of 2008. This same day,we lost Shane's youngest brother in a car accident and my sister and nephew just died 6 months earlier. Can u imagine joy and saddness in the same day? Maybe God knew we needed some Joy,something to keep going. We were on a emotional roller coaster. God turned our sorrow into JOY.

About a week later we filled out our first application,even after hearing about how hard it was to adopt from India,I just knew my God would see us thru. The Werre family gave us a positive outlook,and I knew after talking to Kristi that all was gonna be ok. They were already in process to adopt a second child. How we found Dillon?,well just searching the web and then we talked to Tami and we were blessed to get in contact with some familes.

So we filled out the second application and sent that in with all the other documents. As we were getting this ready...I felt so rushed. It was like hurry up and get it in,I remember telling Shane,we gotta hurry. So guesswhat we barely got our application in and approved and then Dillon temporary closed the program within a few days after we got approved for the India program. Now I know why God was putting it in my spirit to hurry.

So here we are..so grateful and thankful where God has lead us and we are now at the top of the list to bring home our daughter. We are now waiting for Maiya's picture and lovin our life together. We look forward to sharing this story with Maiya one day.....In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy paths,Proverbs 3:6. I will leave you with this today...Psalms 28:6,Blessed be the Lord,because he hath heard the voice of my supplications.
