blown away...

my eyes are filled with tears, and i almost don't know the words to say what i want to say.

i'm ashamed of myself for allowing satan to bring me low, because when i trust in God, i KNOW that He will not let me down. i've been feeling as though this adoption is TOO expensive, TOO hard, TOO much waiting...and though i know in my head that God is in control of ALL of these things, it is hard to tell my heart that.

my new friend gwen just recently said, "I will be praying that the money falls from the sky above ... The Lord can do that !!!" gwen, i say "AMEN!" to that, and thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for your prayers everyone!!

i just received the sweetest note from my dear friend from high school. and along with it, a check! she said, "in addition to our continued prayer support, we would like to help you and mark hold your baby as soon as possible. we will send a check every month until your baby is safe in your arms..."

T and K, thank you for allowing God to use you as an AMAZING encouragement and example to me and my family. we are blown away by your generosity and your love and care. THANK YOU so much!

...and please forgive me for my negative thoughts and words!
