Amazed

So today is the day that we send out our home study packet along with another check for $700. We have the money for this, but it definitely is still a step in obedience. So.... I just went to the post office to get our mail, and there was a card from our adoption agency with the check we sent them, for $700, with our preliminary application. Apparently, along with waiving the trip to Michigan, the also waived the initial fee! Although we weren't in a situation of desperation to come up with the money for the next step, this was still a huge God pat: my term for when God sends those little things in your path like a pat on the back to say, "go ahead, I'm right here". Thank You Lord! Your love for You children is beyond my comprehension!
