We began our adoption process in January 2013. Funding the adoption was our biggest concern. We would need approximately $50,000 to adopt two girls. When we bumped that number to THREE girls that amount went to $60,000. Want to know how much of that we had sitting in a rainy day fund? ZERO! We couldn't wrap our brain around being able to pay $10,000 much less $60,000! We were scared to death of this huge financial mountain! I would almost have panic attacks when I looked at the fee schedule! BUT God continued to assure us that HE would provide our every need. Doubt often trumped our faith, but we just continued to put one step in front of the other and follow wherever he led us. Every step of the way God did indeed provide! Sometimes it was subtle and sometimes it was mind blowing. He was faithful as always!
Last night at 10:30 we got a very unexpected call. During this call, we learned that we officially crossed the finish line regarding our funding goal. By the grace of God and another generous organization, we are now FULLY FUNDED!!!!
Our fees are paid! Our travel is covered! Aside from a few little expenses like visas, we are DONE!
One more time because it feels so good...
WE ARE FULLY FUNDED!!!!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!
Thank you for praying! Thank you for supporting! Thank you for sharing! Thank you for giving! THANK YOU!!!
Praise the Lord with us as we celebrate all that God has done!!!! Do you remember my recent post about praying for two specific things? I have been praying BIG prayers. One of those prayers was that we would be fully funded by the end of May! That prayer has been more than answered!!!
Now we continue to pray that we can travel by August! Girls, we are coming for you!!!
I am so inspired by this!
