Two days ago I got a text from a friend who asked me if I wanted a dresser for our garage sale.I said, SURE! We'll take almost anything that we think we can sell to make a couple of dollars to help bring home our kids. Yesterday she sent me another text asking if we wanted a vanity and an entertainment center too. Again I said SURE we'll take it. So after church today, to which we had brought our little trailer, we went over to this girls house. We left there with the trailer and the car packed with stuff that we can sell. AWESOME! What a blessing!
That is just one of the stories of how God is blessing us at the moment. A couple of weeks ago I lost one of my clients and was telling God that this was going to make me loose some money( like he didn't know already;) So one day last week I prayed about it and that same afternoon one of my old students called and wanted to start up with her lessons for the season. I got off the phone quite humble knowing that God knows what he is doing and he will provide income enough for us.
Since you last heard from me we have also done another ad0ption class. It was interesting and gave us some more food for thought but maybe not as good as the last one. Mostly because it was geared more towards foster parenting. The great thing was that we only had to go to Ignacio to take it which is a 30 min drive.
One thing that we did decide from what we learned that day is that we are going to make our kiddos room as ready as possible. We will be painting it and get some beds and other neutral stuff. Our thoughts are that we will bring pictures of their room so that when they come home they have seen it before. I am also going to try to find stuffed animals that resembles our pets so that they can be introduced even before they meet in person.
All just little details but makes it more real for us to prepare.
Paperwork wise we are doing fine. Just need some redone and some collected. But soon we should be able to send them off to the next place.
It is coming closer which is awesome but still a little scary. A couple of prayer requests are that we still need to sell Scotts motorcycle, that we will have favour with the people we meet in Ukranie, that we will know who are kids are when we see them and that they will feel good about us and that the rest of the paperwork will go smooth.
Thanks for being our friends!
