Into The Streets of Ethiopia was having a giveaway and I entered and found out today I had won! It was such a God timing kinda thing! I just have to tell you how God used this give away to help me and give me refocus today.
I woke up with discouraging thoughts of not getting a referral until courts close and not getting to travel to next year and blah blah blah..such despair!
I had an email from a friend that works with a domestic adoption consultation practice and how there was an urgent need for hs ready families willing to adopt minority children.
I actually called to get the info on this and the lady said if we would work with her she would not be surprised if we were matched with an AA infant in 6 weeks! I was having such doubts about the Ethiopian adoption process and if God was really leading us that way. I know He was when we applied to AWAA, but the vision just gets blurred with all the waiting and uncertainness of it...ya know?
I was walking through walmarts parking lot and just prayed, "God, I really need some reassurance this is the right path we are on. We have spent so much time, money and prayers on this adoption and I am commited to it, but I just need some reassurance this is right."
Well, I walked in Wally World and sat down to grab a sub for lunch before I shopped and checked my facebook on my phone and there was a message that I had won!! Thank you Lord!! I felt like it was just a big hug, a reassurance straight from Abba God that Ethiopia was exactly where He planned for us to adopt from and He had everything under control!
I just wanted to share with you how special my day was. Thanks so much Portilla fam and Tracy at Junkposse for doing the giveaway and for getting the word out about Robel's ministry. I cannot wait to go meet him soon!
