Who knows what the Lord can do?

I think it was about a year ago that I had this crazy notion that it might be cool to adopt some kids. My thoughts were now that I know the Lord and am not a dead beat dad anymore it might be fun to give it another try. To raise some kids in the way of the Lord. Why not right? So I ask Priscilla, "Honey what do you think about adoption?" She rapidly responds, "I think it would be great! I have always wanted to adopt some African children." Me being mister practical quickly remind my lovely wife that there are plenty of children right here in Albuquerque that need some folks to love on them. To which she says, "Yeah I know but I would still like to adopt some African children." Well in my mind that was out. I guess it was just a crazy notion anyway right?
So last month when my passport privileges were reinstated and I was almost immediately asked to pray about taking a trip out to Uganda Africa I did not think anything about it. As asked I prayed about it for a couple of days, then I shared it with my wife who immediately said, "well we had better pray!" This is of course to my shock and wonder as I have asked for her thoughts about possibly going to the Philippines or Belize and both spots were dismissed with a crinkle of the nose and a solid "I don't think so."
So now I am totally getting excited because my heart has been to "go out." Not sure where or when just believing we are being called to go out. A few days go by we are praying and seeking the Lord desiring to hear what He has to say about Uganda wanting to make sure we are in His will and not mine. We are sitting at the dinner table having some tacos when all of a sudden my wife starts crying/laughing! I'm like what in the world is going on?!!! She looks up at me and says, "And you said I couldn't have any African babies." Needless to say I too start crying/laughing as we both start praising the Lord and thanking Him for the wild ways in which He brings things to pass. The preparation and guiding that He does long before the desire is fully birthed or even conceived. Our God is great and greatly to be praised!!!! I think I Corinthians 2.9 says it far better than I can. "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
