The Most Important Blog So Far!!!!!

Look at the title of this particular post: "The most important blog so far".  Why is it the most important blog so far you ask???  Well...let me tell you why.  Sit back.  Relax.  Grab a cup of coffee.  Because this may be a long one.  Not sure yet.  I'm just going to write until I stop :)

It is the most important blog because this one is the one that is going to show God in all his amazingness.  The one that is hopefully going to let everybody out there reading this KNOW without a shadow of a doubt that God is real.  Not only is He real, but He is takes care of His children.  He is our Provider.  He is our Father.  He works in His own time and because of all this He deserves to be praised.  To be lifted up.  

Ready for the story?  Let's go!!

I'm not going to lie, this week has been hard on Richard and I.  We were looking at 4 days left until our deadline.  And we had 2,400 dollars in the bank.  We need 5,000 dollars by our deadline which is today to be exact. Sunday, March 31st 2013.  As you can see, that's barely half of the money we need.  We still need 2,600 dollars.  We have 4 days to get 2,600 dollars!?!?!?!  Talk about us looking at that amount and thinking to ourselves "ha yeah right".  So we started preparing ourselves mentally and emotionally.  We started to talk to each other and decided that maybe this agency isn't God's plan after all.  Maybe we got ahead of ourselves.  Maybe we aren't going to reach our deadline because we are supposed to be somewhere else.  We REALLY feel like it would bring God the most glory if we did this adoption debt free.  So that's our plan.  No short term loans.  No borrowing from family.  So we were preparing to have to stop this process until we had the money.  And let me tell you this...it simply broke our hearts....to even think about stopping before we got started was really hard to grasp. 

So here we are on Friday night, still needing 2,600 dollars.  We met up with some very good friends of ours for a date night.  When we left they handed us a check for 200 dollars.  We were so thankful beyond words to them as I know it was a sacrifice.  On our way home from our date night received another message to stop by another friends house.  Somebody had anonymously given 550 dollars to help with this adoption.  And another good friend 50 dollars that same night.  It was too much to take in.  I couldn't believe it.  This is crazy!  God You are so amazing!!!  The next morning went to work and person after person came up to me handing me 100 dollars at a time!!  This is seriously not happening right now is it?!?!  How is this possible???  So we went from needing 2,600 dollars on Friday morning and by Saturday evening we were down to only needing 700 dollars!!  Oh my!!  I can't even grasp that! 

Sunday morning (today) We celebrated Easter.  Had an amazing time with family and friends.  Just sat down for some down time.  Richard received a call from a very special couple.  They chose to give us 600 dollars.  And then shortly after that another dear friend to us had text us and said they would like to give us 100 dollars.  Are you seeing that????  700 dollars is what we needed by Sunday.  Sunday afternoon 700 dollars just comes to us.  Can you even GRASP that?!?!?  I am not sure I have yet.  God is so amazing.    I feel so stupid for even doubting for a single second.  I ask for forgiveness for doubting that God would do something totally amazing. 

There was a reason that I never told on my blog how much we needed exactly.  Because I didn't want a single person to be able to doubt that God is in control of this adoption.  We needed 5,000.  We got 5,000.  Really God??  You are so AMAZING!!!!! 

We are SO EXCITED!!!!  I can't even believe this!!!  Is this really happening to us???  Thank you for your prayers.  Thank you for your support.  Thank you! Thank You! Thank You!

We will definitely keep you updated!!

We love you!
