God Continues To Provide

So this past weekend was slightly BUSY! We had a yard sale for our teeangers to raise money for their mission trips (in which we made about $1,000!). However, this is not what I wanted to blog about today. During our yard sale a couple from our church gave us some cool news. Our church has a softball league every year, and during their games they sell food/drinks for everyone. Jamee and I were informed that all proceeds made during the entire softball season will be donated to help us with the adoption process! God continues to provide in so many ways! Slowly but surely, the huge cost of adoption continues to get smaller and smaller!

I do not pretend to understand why everything is happening the way it is. I still question why Jamee is not allowed to ever be pregnant...I still wonder "what if..." about many things...but amidst all of this God continues to put the pieces together, and the picture is only getting clearer as time goes on...I look forward to seeing the "final picture" once it is complete...

God Provides!!!

We got some great news in regards to the financial part of adoption this week! We recieved two interest-free loans totaling $10,000 this week! We will pay these back in full when we get our "tax credit" next year, but the adoption agency still needs to get paid before then...so this helps a lot! Now we've only got under $6,000 to go!

No other news to report in addition to this really. We are still waiting. God has really helped us continue to heal and move forward since our last experience (see "tough news" blog below). Again we know things will work out in God's time...and we eagerly await that day. Until next time...
