Full of Praise!

As many of you know, our adoption costs have increased since we started the whole process...partly because of our own doing by deciding to adopt two instead of one and more significantly due to the extra trip half-way around the world! Let's be real, adoption is expensive and many families including us have worried about the cost. We've been praying and trusting the God would provide the last amount needed to fully fund the adoption and he answered that prayer yesterday. My boss called me about another matter, but told me on the phone that my end-of-year bonus (which is May in my contract) is going to be a certain dollar amount...after taxes and all that, we believe it will be almost exactly the amount we've been praying for! I hung up the phone, said, "Praise you, Jesus!" and sat down on the couch and cried tears of joy for about 2 hours. This crazy adventure has truly increased our faith and the Lord has been so merciful to confirm over and over again that we are on the right track even when the paperwork and wait list seem insurmountable. Thanks for your prayers!!
