So our family has been discussing some big changes as we approach one of the biggest changes of our lives. It is out hearts greatest desire to be godly parents to Mason. He deserves the best, but instead God gave us a chance. One big thing that we can do to help our family is not starting off in a huge debt. We have saved most of the money for the adoption, but needed a bit more. Then I got a facebook message from a Godly friend who God had been talking to. Our friend from small group, Jan, felt God telling her to see how we were doing with finances for the adoption. She mentioned that her family was doing some remodeling, and would be willing to donate things for a yard sale. Yard Sale, seems pretty simple and efficient. Yet the idea had escaped me until she mentioned it. So we headed over last Saturday to pick some things up...instead we got a 2 car garage filled with a blessing. Everything that you could imagine was there for us. And the best part was still to come. I didn't know how I could ever thank this family enough...but it was Jan who thought I was doing her a favor. That is when you know you have a Godly friend, when you view blessing others as the prize. She wanted nothing in return, just to help make our adoption a reality. I am constantly forced to take a step back and saw "WOW GOD, you really amazed me this time". And He keeps doing it.
So tomorrow, Saturday 19, 2011 we are hosting the world's biggest Yard Sale at grandmas house. All of our families have emptied their houses of anything extra for this event. The blessings keep coming. Mason is such a lucky child and he doesn't even realize it yet. So many people are waiting to love him in person. He is already so loved in spirit.
