Of course God has blessed mine and Doug's lives in so many ways. But I have really become aware of these blessings recently. In big ways or small, our Father is working in our lives and showing us how much He loves us.
As you know, adoption is not exactly cheap. Unfortunately, it's quite expensive. But the Lord has somehow always provided the money we've needed so far. And just recently, over the past week we've had two big expenses that have miraculously been avoided. Not that it's that interesting to anyone reading this, but one was the lighting in our bedrooms. We thought we were going to have to have an electrician come out and fix them...turns out, it was just the light bulbs we were using. We tried some different bulbs and they worked! The other, was a tire pressure sensor in my car. The light for the sensor has been on for some time in my car and the mechanics had told us we would have to have the sensor replaced and it could be pretty costly. To my surprise today, I noticed the light was off! All it needed was air in the tires...the light was on because the tire pressure was low (imagine that)!
Those are just some recent examples. Another was earlier this spring. Our roof desperately needed to be replaced. Not because of any real storm damage, but just because a new one was well over due. We were really worried our insurance wouldn't cover it, but we decided to try anyway. The Lord heard our prayers and thankfully, insurance covered the majority. We had to pay next to nothing for a new roof.
These are just more examples of how I feel God's love and support for our decision to adopt. We realize that adoption is not for everyone, but we have no doubt that this is the path he wanted us to take. He continues to provide for us financially and continues to work in our lives.
Just wanted to share...have a great week! So glad it's fall and we're enjoying the beautiful weather!
Love you all,
Andrea
