Sometimes an author gets to hear how a book she wrote impacted a child’s life. This is one of those stories!

Tim and Amy Dunn serve the church I’m part of, and Tim is a varsity football coach in our community too. Tim and Amy tried for 8 years to have a baby, and then God blessed them with their amazing Lizzie, now 6 and finishing up kindergarten.

If you had asked them, Tim and Amy would have said that if God wanted them to have another baby, he would have to open up that door for it to happen.

Last fall, Tim helped me provide the marketing department at Tommy Nelson with some video about my new book Words to Dream On, and he and Amy enthusiastically agreed to be influencers for the book when it came out. When their copy arrived, they began reading it to Lizzie, one story a night.

Not long after that, Tim let me know that Lizzie was praying for God to give their family a baby like he did for Abraham and Sarah.

And not too long after that, a family friend contacted Tim and Amy about a potential opportunity to adopt. And Lizzie changed her prayer to “Please let us have a baby like Sarah did, or let us have THIS baby.”

Tim and Amy were thrilled by the possibility of adopting a baby. They prayed and then told their friend they would LOVE to be considered. And they were! They met with the young mother, and she chose them as the couple she wants to adopt her baby.

So in a month or so, Lizzie will have a baby sister.

And I have a story to cherish and share about the impact of God’s Word in the life of TWO children … Lizzie and the baby she prayed for.

Friends of Tim and Amy have started a fund to help them with adoption expenses. If you would like to help, you can contribute at this link:
