And guess what...God provided the fee we needed. All $3,000 of it.<BR/><BR/>Hang in there. You are on the roller coaster ride of your life!

That has kept scrolling round and has financed in great part all of our adoptions. It is only the first one that hurts so much! :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623179886908222942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643283867873567400.post-43237529393717278412008-06-15T16:30:00.000-05:002008-06-15T16:30:00.000-05:00Get that dossier finished, sweetie!

It seems unfair that in order to provide a home you have to pour out so much money.<BR/><BR/>It has always seemed funny to me that you are called to support a child and then in order to do so, your ability to support them is weakened ... at least the financial arena. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the comment on my bloggity blog!The RockStarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04041985402992052316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643283867873567400.post-29803440157908539182008-06-12T18:16:00.000-05:002008-06-12T18:16:00.000-05:00Boy can I relate.

I go back and forth; peace-fear-peace-fear. I think when the time comes for Jonny to go get our boys my excitement will overcome any fear I have left. I sure hope so!Ginnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554195760602365553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643283867873567400.post-21503365129063329162008-06-12T18:14:00.000-05:002008-06-12T18:14:00.000-05:00I've felt like that MANY times on this journey so ...I've felt like that MANY times on this journey so far! It's hard, and I hate to say it, but it just isn't going to get any easier. Just when you get through one obstacle, you can be certain that there will be another. Adoption is not for the faint of heart. I just keep thinking... what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. When we finally arrive on the other side of all of this, we will be such STRONG women, won't we?!? God called us on this journey as much to save an orphan, as to work out our own salvation. He is refining us and purifying us through all of this. It hurts and it's so hard, but by the Grace of God, He will lead us all through it! And it is so great to have each other to help get through this! <BR/><BR/>Love ya, sister!,<BR/>Cara Blivingpurereligionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14979151053521274365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643283867873567400.post-35584202965025957932008-06-12T16:35:00.000-05:002008-06-12T16:35:00.000-05:00I understand your financial worries, but the same ...I understand your financial worries, but the same God who called you to this journey (and me) is the same One that provides. <BR/><BR/>Finish that dossier, girl!

My heart goes out to you and what you are going through but with others have said. You can do this through Christ Jesus!

But YES, God IS in control! He knows that Anchise is your daughter, and His timing is perfect! Step forward in faith. I will pray for your courage and patience, my friend.

Others need to hear our hearts and know that we struggle but we serve a BIG God and He is so faithful to us, even when we doubt...especially when we doubt! I especially like Psalms 27:14 because waiting patiently (for me) takes strength and courage. :) <BR/>Praying for you my friend and for God to knock your socks off with a large, unexpected financial blessing.Sean and Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939848196754308601noreply@blogger.com
