The Fleece

Oh. My. Gosh. A foundation just offered to give us a grant for Mabel's adoption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't know about this foundation. I didn't solicit them. They called a friend of mine today and asked if she knew of a family who could use the grant money. She said our name hit her like a "lightening bolt."

I am beside myself. Could there be a more clear sign from God that we are supposed to adopt Mabel? We asked God to "drop money from the sky" if we were supposed to adopt her. And He has done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eric is home sick today (stomach flu) and knows about this. He knows how I feel. I know without a shadow of a doubt that if we didn't walk forward at this point, we would be walking directly and deliberately OUTSIDE of God's will.

I also know it was the RIGHT thing to do to submit when Eric said no last time. I will do that again this time, if he says no. It will be harder though--but I can do it through Christ!

Eric has asked me to let him pray about it again. So I'm waiting. This time I'm waiting for HIM to submit to the Lord, just as I am supposed to submit to him.
