If it were just that easy to ask God for something and it just happen right away. I am definitely a product of the instant gratification generation. If there is one thing I have learned so far in this adoption process is to trust God and His timing for everything. After all, His timing is perfect. It is much easier to see that after the fact though.
Since we completed our home study a couple of weeks ago, we have both been so relaxed. The amount of stress that went away after that day was noticeable. Now we are just working on getting our financing together. That is where I can't wait to see God's provision. We are hopeful to see what God is going to provide, but do not feel that we deserve or are entitled to any of it. We know that it is only because of His provision and blessing. We have recently received a substantial donation that just left us speechless. This donation came from true angels that shall remain nameless, but have really changed our lives in more ways than this. This donation will cover one third of the cost of our adoption! Absolutely incredible- words cannot describe the miracle that is.
In the next couple of weeks we will be applying for grants and sending our support letters. So if you are reading this and I have asked you for your address...you know what is coming. :) We are seeking financial support, but more importantly we are seeking prayer support.
I also have all the nursery room furniture. I sure do love Craig's list. I have got the best deals so far on the crib and a dresser. The room is not set up as a nursery yet. We won't do that until we are matched with a birth mother and find out if it is a boy or girl. So for now, it looks like half guestroom - half nursery (and it still contains all the clean but not folded laundry).
