Wanted to share how the Holy Spirit worked in my life:
If I hadn't have had my first miscarriage, I was due the first of April 2009. But it wasn't meant to be...so I thought.
At the end of March 2009, I was getting ready to go on vacation to my parent's house in Houston. I had this *overwhelming urge* to clean the whole house and organize every drawer, closet, cabinet & shelf. The night before I left, I had an *overwhelming urge* to pack everything I had for a baby into a bag and left it inside what would be a baby's room. I told myself "just in case" (the adoption agency was to call). But didn't think anything of those things for almost a week until...
My OBGYN has been through all the traumatic times of the miscarriages and aftermath with us over the past year. On April 1, I got a call from my OBGYN. She asked me if I had my baby. "Are you kidding me?" I asked, I mean it was April fool's day. She said she had this *overwhelming urge* to call me; she felt like I had my baby. I was nice but it upset me...NO I DIDN'T HAVE A BABY. Everything and everyone reminded me constantly that I didn't have a child to love. She apologized and said she was a God-fearing woman and she knew I was too. She felt the Holy Spirit working in her and really did think I had my child.
The next day, we got a call from the adoption agency telling us they had a little boy for us in Florida. He was born April 1 (around 7 hours after my OBGYN called me!). We had 48 hours to come and get him. Obviously I called my OBGYN immediately to tell her.
That *overwhelming urge* was the Holy Spirit. I nested and was preparing for Canaan even though he wasn't born yet. The Holy Spirit was working in my doctor to help prepare me to what was coming in the next few days.
It's amazing how God and His Spirit works in our lives even when we have no idea that He is!
