As you may have noticed I have been feeling down lately. I have been questioning if we were making the right decision, the right country, the right child. It has just been overwhelming and I have felt so alone. We have been really praying hard about this. Making sure it is the Lord leading us and not just our hearts. This weekend was confirmation that this is the path the Lord wants us to walk.
This weekend has been so uplifting and encouraging for us. We had a yard/bake sale to try to raise the funds to complete our homestudy. I had friends show up for support. I was able to meet new friends and was blessed by their generosity. I was able to minister others and educate them about Reece's Rainbow.
While we did not raise everything we need to complete our homestudy we are so much close. And we are not alone. The Lord is filling my life with the people he wants to walk this journey with us.
After the yard sale we were debating where to get something to eat. We had decided on one restaurant and then at the last minute decided on another. The service nor food was very good at the restaurant. So we were regretting our decision. As we were walking out a gentleman commented on our adoption t-shirts. Josh stopped to talk with him and told him of our plans and Reece's Rainbow. Turns out they were also an adoptive family. And had adopted from R. They were able to share their experiences with us and offer encouragement.
Thank you Lord. Help me to trust in your timing and not my own.
