God continues to provide the way for us to bring home our baby. We are just in awe of Him!! When we first started this journey we didn't know what to expect, we just took that leap of faith and trusted that God would provide. Taking that leap of faith was the best decision we have ever made!! God hasn't let go of us, some things haven't gone the way we wanted them to but God definitely knows what He is doing! We have slipped and tried to take things into our own hands but God is so patient and forgiving and picks us back up again. I can honestly say without God in our lives we would have given up on this adoption long ago. God has changed our hearts and He can change yours too! :)
The Lord directs the steps of the godly.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
He delights in every detail of their lives.
Though they stumble, they will never fall,
for the Lord holds them by the hand.
for the Lord holds them by the hand.
Psalm 37:23-24 NLT
I'd love to share our "God wink" experience from yesterday. Allan and I were asked to attend a formal dinner at Biltmore Baptist Church where they wanted to pray over us and our adoption process. After our dinner, Stuart, the one who was going to pray for us, called us up to sit with him in from of a hundred or more people. Then, asks Allan to tell about us and our adoption journey. Well, neither one of us are good at speaking in crowds and especially when we aren't prepared! Allan did a great job though and I was so proud of him and thankful that I didn't have to talk!! :) Then, Stuart proceeded to tell us that half the money collected from the dinner was being donated to us for the adoption and then prayed for us and our baby-to-be! Wow! We were so surprised and are thankful beyond words! God is working in and through people to help us bring our baby home! God is and has done great things and He is providing each and every step of the way! I just can't wait to meet this little one that He has picked out just for us!Thank you to all those hearts who have donated and are praying for us and Baby Pack!
*Here are some pictures from the dinner, unfortunately these are from after everyone had already eaten.
