I don't usually comment on the blogs I read, but I can't help it. This statement has brought me to tears:<br /><br />"I would never put two dreams in your heart and then force you to choose between them... That's not the kind of God I am... Do you trust Me?"<br /><br />Sometimes what God says to one is meant for many. Thank you for posting this. I've been struggling with wanting to know how everything I want to do with my life is supposed to happen and how these things can simultaneously exist and knowing how I'm supposed to proceed and if I'm doing God's will. His plan is so awesome that I don't even have to be able to make sense of it. He'll make it happen and I just have to trust that. I think I'm rambling, but thank you thank you thank you for sharing that word.<br /><br />JessicaJessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25427225.post-15853708233617228152009-12-19T19:16:40.696-06:002009-12-19T19:16:40.696-06:00I do not know if you look at this site anymore but...I do not know if you look at this site anymore but I was looking online for our sons name ( He is in a band and we can stay up on his "Press" and his shananigans that way. His name is Ezra Christopher. Funny huh? We also wanted a Godly name for our adopted son and had to fight the agency who said "you do not name a black (Mixed race) child Ezra! because years ago, a tv show "Strp & Fetchit had a charecter named Ezra" But we got our way!

I felt like I knew him from the stories she told. They were both histerical and inspirational. Including a story about the time he removed all the tags from my parents wedding gifts and replaced thim with tags that read "With Love from Uncle Ez". The seriouse side of him was much more complex as he was a great visionary in community and civil service. His accomplishments in these areas are still being realized today. He was truly a great man. I can see how God would move you to carry on such a name. <BR/><BR/>I don't know how i stumbled on this site but it provided a conection with the past i was searching for. thanks for the incredible story.jcbendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869751339667799323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25427225.post-86901867633117728312007-04-11T16:24:00.000-05:002007-04-11T16:24:00.000-05:00That is a BEAUTIFUL story!!!
