Do I trust Him?

            So, about 3 weeks ago, we got the step in the process that allowed the Travel Coordinator to tell us "it looks like you'll likely be able to go to China in August." Since we had a vacation in Yellowstone for my parents' 50th anniversary (Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!) coming up and expected to confirm China travel by the time we got back, we were waiting to post about it. But now we're back, and the approval that was supposed to take 2-3 weeks is taking 4. So we're back in limbo - hoping and planning to go to China in early August, but being reminded again that God (and not us) has the timing of our adoption PRECISELY in His hands.

            And not only the timing, but the funding as well!  We are very excited to announce that our Both Hands Adoption Fundraiser has surpassed our $18,000 goal. So we have enough money in our account to cover all of our anticipated travel expenses, and a number of smaller expenses we'd already incurred in the process. In the event that our total expenses are less than projected, any money left in our account will be rolled over to Both Hands' granting fund to help other families bring home their children.         

            In both of these cases, I see again God's clear direction in our adoption of Ca. He provided the match with our daughter, He is in charge of the timing of when she comes home, He has already provided the funding to do it...Truly, He is GOOD!
