I have been fretting more than a faithful person should these past couple weeks. Desperately wanting to find a job so that we have the money in our budget to put our paperwork in motion, but not having any luck finding anyone nearly as motivated as I to allow me to start working.
We have received some lovely e-mail and have had a half dozen people decide to be one of our 4,000 and that has been tremendously heartwarming. As I told one of them, I have done this for others (sent money to a virtual stranger/friend) and yet doing it for someone else and having someone do it for you are two, completely different things.
In explaining our current situation in an e-mail to an adoptive mom whose little girl came home in August (and had been staying at the same orphanage as our daughter), she replied with the most wonderful response..."all in perfect time."
She's so right. I need to remain motivated and keep pushing. I need to keep turning over stones and pressing forward. And, I need to remain mindful that God doesn't put more on our plates than we can handle and that if this is what He wants for our family, it will happen.
I can't wait to show Hope the album I will be making for her. She will be able to see the way in which strangers prayed for her and even contributed to her being able to come here to live. It will be a wonderful lesson in how God takes care of even the littlest ones...a lesson that should be repeated often.
