This is what I see...I am happily married, Ryan (Izzy's dad) is happily married, we all 4 individually love the Lord so much, and are devoted to one another (in couples) that the 2 couples can also be free to love and trust one another in life...not only with our mutual child (Israel), but also our individual children...that subsequent children could mutually see the others' parents as their second set, and as the others' children as their brothers and sisters. The closest worldly picture I have seen of this is of "God parents," I see not only Iz visiting Ry and his spouse and children but also entrusting them with my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. And likewise, would love to sow into the lives of theirs. So that wherever we all may go, we may feel both free and secure.
I see this working well on many levels, but one I see clearly is in education. I see that we each may have strenghths and weaknesses, but with 4 loving parents rather than 2, responsibility can be divided taking away any unneccessary pressure, and the joys and satisfaction will be without division. I've never before seen so clearly the benefits and blessings He's presenting in this facet of my life...at any given time, Iz will have 2 places she considers 100% home and twice as many incredible parents...one to call for every situation...one for advice, another to laugh, one to listen, and another to pray.
Thank You Lord for vision. Thank Youfor seeing in advance my need and paving a totally new way! Thank You for Who You Are.
