Tears of Joy

I write this still feeling so blessed by how God is moving in our lives. A month ago Jimmy and I sat and wondered where all the money for this adoption is going to come from. So far God has showed us he is in control. It started after a very eventful day of rushing around town to gather things for a friend's wedding and taking the kids to a swim lesson. I got the mail. Normally this is very uneventful, the best I can hope for is a few coupons to add to my collection. Not this day. In our mail box I found an envelope from a company that I have not worked for in almost 2 years. With a note that they had officially taken me off payroll and with that my ESOP (stock in the company) had to be sold and a payout made. I opened the envelope and as I read the amount on the check tears began to fall. I can only wonder now what the money would have been used for two years ago, probably new baby items, instead of the second hand things we bought. Two years later our baby beds are still used and work great, all I can say is God has perfect timing.

Other strange things have happened too. We are a long way from having all of our funds but it is a blessing to see God work through people.
