The Lord Continues to Provide

This morning a man approached me after church. He asked me how the adoption process was going and I began to fill him in. He then asked how the adoption was funded and how that was going. I told him we were still in the process of trying to get the money together and that since it looked like the Lord was trying to expedite this process we were going to have to see how the Lord provided beyond what we could do ourselves. It was at that moment he began to get a little emotional as he began to share what he shared next…


He told me that over the weekend he could not get our family and the adoption off his mind. With his wife standing there he said they had never been led to adopt a child and wanted to do something to help. He said, “You hear people talking all the time about how the Lord spoke to them and led them to do this or that, but that sort of thing does not happen to me often. Yet this weekend I truly felt the Lord speaking to my heart and leading us to do something to help. So here is a little something – it’s not much, but I hope it will help.”

He handed me a check and I thanked him with a tear in my eye. The crazy thing is that I don’t think they knew the whole situation and how desperate we are for money at this time since the process seems to be going so fast. The Lord just laid it on his heart to give to help us financially because HE knew we needed it. Isn’t that so cool! My God is an awesome God.

By the way – the little something this family gave to help – the little something that wasn’t much – was $2000.00. I am simply blown away with the Lord and His ability to provide. Sure – I know He is my provider, but it is a totally different thing to experience it in such a real way. He always comes through!

Prayer – Tomorrow the guy who works for the agency will be in the city and our prayer is that at that point he will be able to secure Mei’s paperwork and have it in hand so when our paperwork is complete we will be able to get him and bring him home. We are also praying for this guy to be able to get a picture or two for us of Mei – Shannon still has not seen a picture of him at all and our kids are dying to get a look at him.
