An Unexpected Miracle!!

"I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him." 1 Samuel 1:27

During the week of September 29th, I had the joy of sharing the story of Hannah with my Pre-K students. We talked about the faithfulness of God and his ability to answer even our most "impossible" prayers. Little did we know that God was in the midst of doing a Hannah-sized miracle in the Keller family!
On October 3rd, God showed Jack and I how truly BIG He is! We discovered, to our complete surprise and joy, that we were pregnant! Many of you know the journey that we have been on the past couple of years, but for those of you who don't...we were told that we might never be able to have biological children. I am not sure what exactly Hannah felt after the Lord allowed her to conceive Samuel, but I am sure that I felt something similar.
For days, Jack and I secretly rejoiced in this miracle! We were beyond thankful to think that in a year...we will have two miracles...our beloved Ethiopian child and a little Keller.
A huge answer to prayer was answered just days after we found out that we were pregnant. We contacted our adoption agency to find out what the protocol was for pregnant families in the process of adopting (something we had never even looked into). We found out that they were very supportive of pregnancy and allowed us to proceed as planned. It was just another evidence of God's hand upon this whole journey.
On Monday, November 3rd we went to the doctor and got to hear the baby's heartbeat! What a thrill that was. We are 10 weeks along and we are due June 7th or 8th.
Praise be to the God that does do above and beyond ANYTHING that we could ask or imagine!!
