God Provides Us With Adoption Funds

Tonight was the first night we officially began the cleaning duties of our church. We are praising God for the opportunity to earn money to put toward our adoption expenses. As we think of the upcoming adoption expenses we realize that it is because of God's grace we have a peace. We don't have 20,000 dollars. However, we know God has put the desire to adopt into our hearts and we are trusting Him to provide the funds. Even if we have to go into debt, I cannot imagine a better reason. We are beginning to feel such a bond to the baby He has chosen for us.
A few weeks ago, Isaac came to me with all of his piggy bank change. He said, "Momma, I want you to have my money to help buy our baby." (smile) I was so touched by his motivation to contribute. So this enthusiasm is now being directed toward church janitorial duties. Tonight this included emptying garbage cans, dusting window sills, scrubbing tables and polishing the drinking fountain. Kaylee was also such a big help cleaning tables, dusting, organizing sunday school curriculum, and keeping track of Erin who was running around barefoot happily chasing a rubber ball. We grabbed cheeseburgers and had a picnic before we began. Layne hopes to bring some music next time so we can dance around the church as we clean. (smile)
Well, as a mom who is experiencing the many blessings of raising three I am so excited for the adventure we are on as we are officially "expecting" our fourth child (possibly 5th if God has twins in store for us).
