Provision

The Lord has continuously provided in every way for us in the adoption of our daughter. We have been blown away at how friends and family have given sacrificially to help in the cost of bringing our daughter home.  My sister-in-law sent out letters asking those closest to us to save their change and send it to us at the end of 3 months, and challenging 100 people to try to save/give $100. Each time we received a check in the mail from a dear friend or family member, it was truly humbling. God was providing for us in huge ways. From this letter alone,  $6,605 was given to us.

Then, one night my mom called and said that a lifelong friend of hers wanted to call me. I was very curious, as to why she would want my number. When she called, she asked about our adoption, told me that she and her husband are always looking for ways to give, shared that her husband had just returned from Ethiopia on a medical missions trip, and then asked me how much money we were lacking in funds for our adoption. I told her that at this point everything but our final travel costs were paid for and it would be somewhere around $5,000.  Then she left me speechless......"We would like to give you the remaining $5,000 that you need." What?! Thankful does not even describe it! God has provided every. single. penny for this adoption. He has shown Himself to us in ways we never imagined!
