This week has been kind of strange so far. I was supposed to be off on Mon. and that did not happen due to a death in the family of a co-worker of mine.
My crazy family all decided last minute to hop on a 4 day cruise. They asked if we wanted to go but it was VERY last minute. They booked it on a Sun. evening around 4 and left Mon. at 11am, my work would not of went for that!!
So, on Mon. my hubby received a check sort of out of the blue for quite a bit of money that we were not aware he was entitled to until about 2 weeks ago. That evening we were discussing how we were going to save the rest of the money for our adoption, as we are trying to do it all out of pocket, no credit cards. It was funny because I had told my hubby that we need not worry as we would figure it out and that we would make whatever needed to happen, happen.
Tues. was not without excitement. My husband received a phone call about a piece of property we have for sale, it has been on the market right at a year. We have an all cash offer and it is scheduled to close on Oct. 1st if all goes well, keeping our fingers crossed there as that would relieve some of the financial burden for the adoption.
Wed. my hubby went and signed the contract for the acceptance of the offer on the property. I received my Ugly dolls and for some reason they sent a double order which of course, I have to call about as that is the only thing to do.
I am hoping that what the universe and God are telling us is, "get prepared as your life is going to change quickly". I am thinking these are all "signs", "indicators", "blessings", whatever you want to call them that our little one is preparing to come. Things have a funny way of working themselves out at the precise moment you need them to!!
It has been such a strange and exciting week, I am looking forward to tomorrow to see what's in store for us!!
I have always thought that this was not the path I would have chosen for myself, yet, the path that God has laid before me. Thank you God as this is a much more exciting and educational path, I am honored to be able to go down this path and meet the wonderful people I have met along the way. I am looking forward to the rest of the journey as I know that God will make it happen. He would have not shown me a path in which He, Himself would not be willing to walk with me. This is what we are supposed to do and we are supposed to touch other lives with our story.

praise the Lord for your unexpected check and the offer on your property!!! i'll be praying that the sale goes through and you have more money for the adoption!!! we're also doing ours out of pocket, all cash, and sometimes it's overwhelming, but i know it will be provided for!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenny, it is funny how everything is just falling into place for us right now. I am just excited and anxious to start this next chapter in our lives.
ReplyDeleteIt is overwhelming when you are trying to do it all cash, but in the end, like you say, we will be provided for and I think it is the best way to go if you can swing it. No interest!!
