Blessed Beyond Measure

This past week we were once again reminded about the goodness of our God and how he will continue to provide for us throughout the adoption process.

In the last post, I told you guys how my husband's students raised $1,072 for our adoption... well we have some pretty awesome news to update you on.

Since the kids video of their generosity was posted on Facebook, we have had not ONE.. but TWO people dollar for dollar match their donations... So the kids didn't just raise $1,072 ... their donation was tripled to $3,216!! Praise God through whom all blessings flow. He is mighty and he is letting us know that he is in control and he's got this. :)

We are so blessed and thankful for the donations that have been bestowed upon us and we are so excited to see God move throughout the rest of our adoption process!

Valentine's Day Surprise

Less than a month after we decided to stop worrying so much about everything and stop attempting to control the timeline of our adoption process, the Lord truly blessed us in a beautiful and mighty way!

My husband’s 3^rd grade GATE class and the previous two years classes (now 4^th and 5^th grade GATE classes) secretly raised money over the course of a week and a half and presented it to him on Valentine’s Day!! Those amazing kids raised a grand total of $1,072!! They were so excited to be able to bless us with this and we are so incredibly grateful! Words can’t even begin to express how we feel – the Lord is working in our adoption and he is showing up BIG and in avenues that we never even imaged! The kids told us how some of them had lemonade stands in their neighborhoods and others made cards and pictures. We are so blessed!
