She knew at the age of 13 that it would probably be too dangerous for her to carry a child in her womb… so God in His mercy gave her a precious child who another mom carried… but who was born in her heart just the same.

Today, you’re invited to listen to my dear friend Amanda Schneider’s story – it’s about more than adoption. It’s a journey she shared with her wonderful husband Caleb and how with every step they learned to wait on the Lord, to trust Him through the emotional ups and downs, and to rely on His faithfulness. It will remind you that on the roller coaster of life, that Jesus is in the front car next to you… and He’s not scared so you don’t have to be either! His plans are GOOD. You’re gonna remember. So why not throw up your hands and scream for joy… cause the bible promises weeping lasts for a night… but JOY comes in the morning. Can’t wait for you to hear about how God knit a tiny, adorable baby boy into the warm and loving quilt of their lives. His name is Isaiah.

Jaqueline was blessed by the Make-A-Wish program. Her biggest wish was to have a grand birthday party (a quinceañera one year late) and to visit her favorite radio station. ♥ We love you Jaqueline!

From Make-A-Wish:
"Jaqueline's quinceañera took place at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington. There was food, dancing, a surprise song played by Jaqueline's boyfriend during her first dance with her dad, and many, many happy tears. Jaqueline shared with the party how she had been dreaming about her quinceañera for years, and dreaming of this day is what helped her through the hard days of her treatment."
