A-MAZING answer to prayer

Even though it is so difficult to understand sometimes, I still believe that God has a perfect plan for all of our lives, whether you believe in Him or not. This is an example of just that. A couple whom I don't even know, C.J. and Renee Bergman, have completely touched my life and the lives of countless others. Throughout their story, they are the epitome of trusting even when you don't understand. After 3 miscarriages and a major surgery to fix an incredibly rare condition, this couple got pregnant with a baby boy. Renee had an uneventful 9 months of pregnancy (which those of you who have been pregnant, know that uneventful is a good thing!) But at the end of 9 months, God chose to take baby Titus to heaven before he took his first breath. You can read their full story here. (Go back to March 17th to start at the beginning) But now they are rejoicing because they have the opportunity to adopt on MONDAY! Yes, that's only a couple days away. I'm writing this because they need two MAJOR things...one, prayer. I truly believe in the power of prayer. Please pray for the health of the birth mom, baby Keane and for the hearts of C.J. and Renee. Their hearts are still tender from their loss but God is healing them every day and they have truly been rejoicing every day. And second, money. I can't imagine how hard it is to want something so bad, not have the money, and feeling uncomfortable asking for it. So I'm helping them out with that one, I don't feel uncomfortable! There is a link on their blog to donate. Seriously, even $5 helps. They need to raise $27,000 in just a few days. Please pass this on to everyone and anyone you know!!! I know that God will bless them because they have blessed my life, and those of so many others.
