God is so good!!! Let me tell you a story...
We are continuing to raise funds for the adoption as several costs have tumbled in during this extended process for us. What once was proposed as a 12-18 month journey to adopt has turned into 2.5 years and counting. Updated paper work, fingerprints again, new appointments, mailing documents, etc. Each month we support Tarik's care while he is in the foster home of $350 a month. With the latest movements in our process too, we have fees associated with those costs that are $650. It all is adding up as one month runs into another past our anticipated funds. (See our 2014 Fundraising Report here. And our latest needs here.)
Just as I sit down and start to wonder how tight are things going to get, I get an email that another necklace order needs filled. And guess what? It will cover our next fee! So thankful and once again just in awe of God's provision just when we need it!
Then a friend asks to hold a fundraiser sale for us and tah-duh, there is the open door that God keeps pulling us through to let us know this is all going to be ok.
It's hard to admit that even through all this process and evidence of God's hand in this, that yes, I worry. God has shown himself again and again and in such unique ways beyond what I could've dreamed up. And yet again I need this push of a reminder that He will never leave us nor forsake us! He is our provider. Isn't God so good??!
Thankful for an attentive and caring Father to watch over us. Thankful for supporters who continually pray for us and give financially to help ease the costs of this process! Thank you just isn't enough!!!
