We officially have our passports now! Yay! That is so exciting to us! We are still making progress, a little at a time, but the list of documents needed is getting smaller! It'll be at least another month before we can turn in our paperwork to start our Home Study though. Allan has been blessed with another job so we will have to wait for him to get a month worth of paycheck stubs and a new letter of employment. We are so thankful that the Lord has answered our prayer and Allan has gotten another job! No more night shifts! Yay!
It is just so amazing to us how the Lord continues to provide for us through this adoption. He has put so many people in our lives, with positive, encouraging words and hearts that are happy and willing to help us in anyway they can! He has provided financially for us, like last week when we went to get our Doctor's exams and since we have no insurance right now we had to pay out of pocket and the lady gave us a discount and then two days later when we had to go back, we didn't have to pay anything! That is Not a coincidence! That is all God! This whole adoption process has definitely taken us out of our comfort zone, but God doesn't call us to stay comfortable. God promises us that he will never leave us or forsake us and the Bible says we should care for the orphans. This whole adoption process is going to be a great way for us to share our testimony! We can't wait to bring home the child that God has picked out for us and continue to share what He has done in our lives!
We are super excited about tomorrow! The Craft/Bake/Yard sale is going to be awesome! We spent over 5 hours making lots of baked goods yesterday. I have to admit I do have my moments of panic when I worry that no one will show up! But, it's all in God's hands so I can't worry about it.
