God's Provision

Well, we're still working on paperwork (our adoption application) over here and it's taking much longer than we thought. There's no such thing as "quick" filling it out ... these are thought-provoking questions which really make you sit back and evaluate just about everything! We're getting nearer the end of this portion though and are looking forward to starting the next phase ... home study ... deep breath. Under normal circumstances you couldn't pay me enough money to go through a process like this, but this is special ~ this is a child God has placed on our hearts and I can't wait!

Anyway, with all this writing and pondering, I've been thinking a lot more about our little girl. One thing I've been wondering is if she will be ok with not too many other Asians in our circle of friends and I've been praying for God to give her security in our family (among many other things). I was not even seeking more adoptions out of Asia, but I discovered some very encouraging and exciting news today ~ my cousin Jeff is planning to adopt from Asia also! What a miracle for them and a blessing to us!! I just love how God provides for His children! You never know how or when God will provide, but He always does ... and better than we could imagine.
