I800-A, It's On It's Way!

So many feelings, so many emotions.  I think I find myself crying more than not.  Well today, it was at the post office while mailing my I800-A.  My hands were shaking, I was so nervous.  Such a BIG step to make this adoption happen.  I felt like my entire life was in one envelop.  One envelop that will change my life FOREVER!  I prayed before I left the house to head off to the post office.  Then, again before I got out of the car at the post office....oh, the post office is less than half a mile from my house.  I just wanted to make sure God knew what I was doing:)  Then as the man behind the counter was about to place my big important envelop in the bin I said, "Wait, can I ask you a crazy favor?  Will you take a picture of me with this envelop?"  Then I tried to tell him that I was adopting and that this envelop was very important.  Yip, the tears began to flow.  He either thought I was crazy myself or he was really compassionate, he said that's wonderful, good luck.  So, here it is.  It's off to Texas.....and yes I will pray again tonight for its safe arrival.

Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser

I cannot begin to thank my family and countless friends for all of your AMAZINGLY GENEROUS help with the spaghetti dinner!!! God worked His glorious miracles again and the donations just keep multiplying.

In the midst of my nervousness yesterday God once again placed 2 reminders in front of me just at the right time to let me know this is HIS plan and He's got it all taken care of.
One was a Willo...w Tree figure called "Child of my Heart"- the card with it said, Into my heart you came, bringing sun into my life, making family our name.
The second was a mom and her adopted Guatemalan daughter, oh this was as I was almost in tears from so much emotion, she laid her hand on my arm and said God will take care of everything.

Coincidence, nope! Both were sent by God! Thank you everyone for your support!
