Psalms 28:7

"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him."


This adoption journey has left me daily in amazement. I mean seriously daily something happens that leaves me breathless. The last few days I am literally walking on sunshine.  I am spilling over with gratitude.

Saturday we received a donation that blew my socks off! Ha!  It is amazing how our Heavenly Father places the people right in our path and leads those to us right when we needed.  Right when more money is needed HE is providing for us.  It is also happening with mental support. I can feel like this is too big or too much to handle and someone will text or call or email and say just what I needed. It's not just happening to me but to Steve as well. He had a side job recently and the owners just adopted. He went to help a friend at her farm and the vet that came to help them had just adopted. He was given all kinds of support from those strangers.   I am not just thankful to my Heavenly Father but to those that listen to the spirit and lift us up!

Today our profile was complete 8 business days early. I can't help but think....and wonder....what does that mean. I keep telling myself that it will take awhile so I don't get over anxious about waiting.

Tomorrow we fed-Ex our last form in and 2000 more bucks and we should be active by next week. We are not quite funded but we will continue to work toward our goal (chick fa la night coming soon )but we have enough to move forward.

We have more exciting news that I can't share yet so....coming soon!

Thanks a lot for leaving me on pins and needles. I love reading about your story and everything that is going on. I think it is amazing what you all are doing and I love knowing more about the process something I think people who haven't been through it may take for granted.
