Well after a really tough week God spoke to me loud and clear! We are having to make some really hard decisions at work right now . The economy and rising cost for fuel and materials has really hit our business hard! We are having to take a substantial pay cut and I was starting to really worry if we will be able to afford this adoption... Well last night I checked my e-mail to find a letter from our agency saying they are increasing their grant for waiting children by $2000!!!! WOW! I was so shocked by this!! I will still need to come up with some fund raising Ideas but I basically just got $2000 of the $15,000 I have to come up with in the next 9 months! Thank you Lord! I also say all the time "I know God will handle it he is in charge", but some times I just say it. If that was not enough of a tap on the shoulder... This morning I was going to feed the fish in the pond and there in the front door are 2 UPS envelopes, at first I thought it might be Lily's finding add. NO, it was our state certified birth certificates!!!! I ordered on 6-22 they said it would take 17 to 32 days! I told everyone I would not see them for at least 30 days! 5 DAYS oh one of little faith! And then my mind goes right to... if things keep moving at this pace HOW will I get all those funds in a shorter time! But I will try not to worry, I heard Him loud and clear!!! I can only say one thing He uses each valley to help us grow and I truly believe this. So I know with thing going on with the business We are going through a time of learning and growing, and with the adoption process I learn to have more faith in Christ because I have no control! It is His plan and He will work it out (no matter how much I mess things up!)
