We received a call from our lawyer yesterday with some very unexpected news. Our birth mother had contacted our lawyer expressing that she wants to pay us back our money and she requested our forgiveness. This birth mother is extremely poor, how she would be able to pay us back is not known. Our biggest surprise was that she wants our forgiveness. I right away didn't know if I could forgive her.
Mike and I wrote her a letter yesterday and expressed how much this has hurt us. We mailed it yesterday.
I awoke this morning with alot on my mind and praying alot. God has performed a miracle in Brooke Wesley this morning. I have FORGIVEN our birth mother. Whole heartedly forgiven her !!! I have such a love for her again. This makes NO sense and from the world's view is ridiculous. I cannot explain what exactly changed my heart....only the moving of the Holy Spirit. God lead me to Matthew 5:43-48 this morning. It shook my world !! I am aching for her salvation. I have such a concern for her soul today.
I wanted to thank everyone for their many prayers the last few months. They have been heard !!
I do ask that everyone would continue to pray for our birth mother. PLEASE pray for her salvation. We ask for God to break her spirit. Please continue to pray for our Elise, that God's will be done in her little life.
Absolutely! To God be the glory!
