God has given us a giant blessing!!!! He now has a full-time job!!! We can finish our adoption!!!!!!!
It’s been a rough, sweet, heart-breaking 6 months, but the dog-days are over!!!! God has shown Himself to us in a very real way, providing for us in dramatic fashion, just at the right time, even to the point of catering to our prayer requests (a la Gideon). He’s opened our eyes in a big way to new things He might be calling us to, and we’re totally excited about them. It’s been hard, but it’s been good. Thank you Lord!!!
We are beyond excited to be doing things that our hearts long to do. Not only do we have jobs, but he’s going to be working for Young Life and for a sweet, sweet church, and I even have the special opportunity of working part-time at a job that has me loving on and ministering to teen mothers in the area. AND obviously, it looks like God is providing for our HEART’S DESIRE to adopt a child in Ethiopia who needs a family.
Basically, I haven’t slept since Saturday because I’m so excited.
Just a little paperwork, a little fixing up the apartment for our home study, and we’ll be right back on that waitlist!!!!
Let’s BTBH, people!!!!!
James 1:17 – Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
On top of all that, we're celebrating together with a blog friend who just got a referral (you know who you are)!!! Congrats you guys!!!
