In this past Friday’s post I talked about how God loves to bless his children and how we shouldn’t feel guilty about praying for his blessing in our lives.

But what happens when the blessing we pray for isn’t the blessing we receive? Can cancer, infertility, divorce, job loss and grief actually be God’s way of blessing us too?

We asked CCV friends Jaret and Sarah to share their powerful story of finding God’s blessing through the joys and struggles of adopting two beautiful children with special needs.  I believe their story will encourage many struggling to find strength and meaning in the midst of God’s unexpected blessings…

P.S. – Hanging on when you can’t see God’s plan is a theme I come back to over and over again in my book Second Guessing God. Hopefully you can pick it up. If you can’t afford it let me know and I’ll send you a copy for free.
