He's Faithful!

We just want to give a big fat shout out to God for being such an amazing provider! When we started this adoption journey we were told many times that God would provide in fantastic ways for our needs. Sometimes it’s so easy to see that provision in the lives of others and to doubt that the same God would likewise overwhelm us with provisions. When doubts and anxiety start to creep in regarding how in the world it all is going to come together, we’ve really had to fight to remember His goodness to us and praise Him for the work HE… not us… is bringing about. When we’ve actually sat down and recalled the ways He’s proven Himself faithful in the past, doubt and fear are demolished regarding the future. Below are just a few of the ways He has been taking care of us just over the past month.


Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

This past month God’s provided a promotion for Justin at work. We have been praying for another job for him for months as we’ve contemplated how in the world we would be able to live off of his current salary after I quit my job and stay home with the children. Miraculously He has answered providing Justin with a way to continue working where he loves, and giving him a raise in pay that will be sufficient to meet our needs when the kids come.

A few weeks ago a friend gave us some really cute baby toys her children have grown out of for us. A few days after that another friend dropped off 4 cans of baby formula for us to hold on to for when the kids arrive. These kids aren’t even here yet, and the provisions are already starting to flow!


Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts!

We’ve been connected with a woman who needs a baby sitter a few times a month on the weekends. The side job will provide us with a little extra income that we can put towards our adoption expenses, and be used to prepare us for the kids God will bring us.

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

We’ve had several friends offer to help us with fundraising for our adoption. We didn’t even ask them… they just offered on their own. What grace! In addition we’ve received several radically generous checks this past month from friends who want to be a part of our journey.

We don’t deserve any of this! This is all His work. He is such a personal God who truly, truly does care for His children. Thank you God for being so faithful!
