We are so grateful for our wonderful church body! On our final Sunday as a family of 5, we were prayed over by our church. God has blessed us with a loving and supportive community of believers! We were showered with encouragement, and it brought such joy to our hearts. In addition, my sister's family is also about to bring home their little ones. God has orchestrated every detail, and He has ordained that our two families would experience this all together. What a kind and good Father we serve!
"God sets the lonely in families." Psalm 68:6
So many precious people are praying for us and for Joy! We continue to stand in awe of our Lord and how He has surrounded us with His love through His saints. Today we paid our final adoption invoice, and we had just enough! God has consistently and miraculously provided financially for our adoption expenses. Again, we stand in awe! We have not always known how He would provide, but we believed that He would. Even when I doubted, He provided. Even when we had a major water leak in our house, He provided. Even when we had no idea where the money would come from, He provided. When we tallied up our fundraising efforts, and it was the exact amount of the matching grant we received, we were convinced that he provided. He has proven Himself faithful time and time again. How could I ever doubt?
"Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation." Isaiah 12:2-3
