There are many temptations to worry and fret with this new direction in our adoption journey. The biggest temptation for me personally is the more intense financial situation. My mind seems to run on numbers and when I get worried it starts crunching the numbers over and over:
"How much do we need? How much do we have? How long do we have to come up with it? Break that down per month - per paycheck. How much overtime do I need to work? Wow! This is impossible!! because if I make x... and we need y and we only have z amount of time... Let me run those numbers again." ...as if doing the same equations multiple times will make the problem smaller.
Today, the Lord reminded me of His resources and how He loves to work. Tonight when we walked into church a special little girl ran up to us saying, "This is for you!" She handed us an envelope marked "Money four your ADOPTION." Inside was some bills and coins -$5.92! Her parents later told us that it was her idea and completely voluntary.
God is sovereign over all things! All the earth is at His call. Today, He moved a little girl to give all her spending money and remind us to trust in Him.
So Precious. Praise the Lord!!!
