Looking For A Few Good Fasters

Most of you got this email, but I thought there are some people who read this that I don't have emails for, and thought you'd like to be a part.

Hi Friends,
It is that time again, the Adams want to have a baby. Doctors are still being nay sayers, but we know better don't we? After the amazing experience in being blessed with Lauren Grace we know it is only through the Lord's mercy, grace, and love that we will have another child. We have had some very encouraging spiritual experiences in the last 6months that have my hopes very high that the Lord is aware of our desires and will bless us.
I have had a strong impression however that I need to include you all in this leg of the journey. We would like to have another fast and would appreciate so much your prayers and efforts in our behalf. Knowing that 90% of you are either pregnant or nursing I know the fasting part may not be possible, but of course your prayers will "open doors".
An amazing promise comes in Isaiah 58:8-9 when Isaiah tells us that when we fast: "Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward. Then shalt thou call and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am."
Last time we went through this I really felt like a huge purpose in all of it was to glorify God, to testify that He is real, He hears and answers our prayers, and that He wants us to turn to Him. The last time we fasted, he surely was there and my health did speedily spring forth. I know it can happen again and I hope your help in this will strengthen your faith in Christ as well as bless you in your needs.
Miracles happen, they have happened to us. The power of prayer is stronger than any diagnosis and can overcome anything. We believe so much in these two things and are grateful to be able to turn to the Lord in times like these. We are also so grateful for the incredible friends we have that we can ask for your assistance, encouragement, and faith.
Our family creed has been: (Mark 10:27) And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
We will be fasting Thursday April 12. We hope you can join us. If you have any questions please call or email me.
With so much gratitude and love,
Ryan, Chanel, Julia, and Lauren

Chanel this was good to read. I like the scriptures. I will fast for you. I want so much for you to get pregnant again too. Has anyone put your name in at the temple lately? We should all do that too.

I s there a reason why you chose April 12th? Just wondering.

THanks Michelle! I LOVE YOU! I have put my name in the temple here, last week, thats when I felt like I should do this. April 12 was just random, I wanted to do it soon, but before the weekend, so its the 12th.

what a great letter. seriously reading those scrips brought a tear to my eye, becuase it is so true, "with God nothing is impossible" you will be in my thoughts and prayers, and i won't eat too much (can't fast at this point) on thursday.
