So Thankful

Who says miracles don't happen? They're crazy.

People, I haven't written to relay our good news, because, well, I've been speechless for a while now. I've been treasuring things in my own heart. I've been enjoying thanking God quietly, just between the two of us but I can't keep quiet any longer. I have to share our wonderful news.

Between the donations we received for the garage sale, some generous Paypal donors and some Just Love Coffee sales together with the generosity of certain married couple who are humble and extremely generous donors the Lord has provided for our dossier submission fees. ALL of them.

*GASP* I can't even believe I am able to type that sentence out!

Who does that kind of thing?

People who care about orphans more than they care about themselves. That's who.

We are so humbled. It's hard to find the right words to express the amount of gratitude we feel for such gifts. It won't keep me from trying, though! It's super important to us to make sure people know just how much we've benefited from the faithfulness and support of others. We couldn't have done this alone.

What more is there to say than THANK YOU!? Thanks to all of you for loving us and for loving A* even while you don't know him yet! Thank you for living life with your eyes, hearts and hands wide open and with a willingness to live a faith that bleeds. WE. LOVE. YOU.

Thank you God our Provider for answering our prayers in an unmistakable and unexpected way. May You receive ALL the glory, honor and praises You are due!

We are still saving for our travel fees and airfare but are confident that we are able to cover those expenses quickly. I feel as if a weight has been lifted off knowing that money will not prevent A* from coming home in a timely manner.

This is another door flung wide open to prepare the speedy arrival of our second son.

I'm in danger of becoming a broken record but I have to say it one more time: God provides for special needs kids and the families that endeavor to rely on Him to meet their needs!!! If you are a family that is standing on the edge of taking a leap of faith for a special needs child I encourage you to keep praying for God to move mountains and watch what He does!

Galatians 6:2- Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

John 13:35- By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

1John 4:7- Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.

John 13:14- A new command I give you: love one another. As I have loved you so you must love one another.
