A small still voice

But I said two boys, didn't I? He's an even more amazing example of what God does. Once this boy's information was on the blog, I started wishing we could get them both. But when I mentioned it to Dave, he said no, absolutely not, we're only doing one and don't ask. But of course I did ask again. And again. And every time, he would get madder and madder, stop talking about him. So I stopped. And then a funny thing. He started asking me about him. Has he found a family yet? No. What will happen if he doesn't? He will go to a mental institution for the rest of his life, even though mentally there is nothing wrong with him. So I knew God was working on him. With great difficulty, I kept my mouth shut. Then, the other night, something happened. On my laptop, I had saved all the pics I could find of #1, and used them as a slideshow for my background. I booted my laptop up, and while it was S-L-O-W-L-Y coming up, a passage from I Kings 19 popped into my head. Don't know why, hadn't read it in a while. It's the one where God told Elijah to go stand on the mountain. Here's the verse if you're not familiar:

  1Kings 19:11-13 (KJV)
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.

Hmm, ok. Kind of random. Then my background finally came up. There was #1 standing tall and stong and handsome, confident. But peeking out from around him was a much smaller #2, just as handsome but in a quieter, meeker way. It was like that verse all over again! (I so wish I could share it with you!!) So then I knew. God would make it happen. I just had to give Dave time to listen to that small still voice. The next afternoon, he asked again about #2. Has he found anyone yet? nope. Then he said it. We can't let him be sent to to an institution. I can't let that happen. We need him. I still break down in tears thinking about it.

Our God is an Awesome God.
