Good things!!

“Good things come to those who wait.” 

We’ve been waiting and good things have come our way and we trust they’re going to continue coming!! J (AKA- - come on little sweet baby!!)

*We’ve been praying and waiting forEVER (it feels) for Erik to get a promotion in his “field” (accounting)….. and GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!?!  On Friday, October 7- - - - HE GOT A PROMOTION!!!!!!!!  PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!

*We’ve prayed for over a year for God to reveal to us how we can use our musical talents to grow God’s Kingdom…… and GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  On Sunday, October 2- - - - HE OPENED A DOOR FOR US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (More details on this to come later)….  PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!

*We were anxiously awaiting our Adoption Benefit Dinner on October 8 hoping to raise ½ of the birthmother fee that is due before we can get on the waiting list for our child……..  and GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  WE WERE BLESSED WITH RAISING THE ENTIRE FEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  (Like- - almost exactly!!  - - only $5 over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” Ephesians 3:20 NLT

We are overwhelmed with all of these blessings that are being heaped on us!!  J  God is revealing His love to us through so many of YOU and we are overjoyed.  The generosity, support, love and encouragement from you all is awe-inspiring.  I really don’t have enough words to express our gratitude.  THANK YOU!!!!!!

Our next step is waiting for our home visits to be completed.  We are now at the mercy of our agency as to how fast we move forward from here.  Once our home study/visits are complete, then approved, we can officially be placed on THE waiting list.  

Meanwhile, we’ll continue saving for the placement fee (which is the bulk of what we’ll owe).  This is due when our adoption is finalized….. (in other words- - when our sweet baby is in our hands!!!!!!!!) J 

So- - that’s about it in our neck of the woods!  Lots of good, good stuff going on.  Ahhhhh….  Thank you, Jesus!! J  And thank YOU all for remembering us in your prayers!!  They’re being heard, for sure!!  We love y'all!!
