Seeing His faithfulness...already

I realize I have already fallen short with this blog however, since there hasn't been anything going on with the adoption per se I haven't felt there was much to say. Well, now that I sit and think about it that couldn't be further from the truth. Here's the deal. When we started this whole thing our attitude was we would fill out all the application stuff and even though we lived in a townhouse in the middle of an apartment community we would go ahead and do the home study here with faith that one day soon before Grace gets here God would some how help us afford a house since with 3 boys already she would have to have her own room and a 3 bedroom townhouse won't cut it. WOW that sentence was way too long and probably not grammatically correct. Anyway, with the way the housing market is here and how expensive they are in comparison to where we used to live it can be overwhelming. All I can say is this...God's ideas are always about timing. 4 weeks ago we weren't even considering buying a house and had our application ready to submit. Now, we are waiting to close on a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath with a loft 2000+ sqaure foot house that isn't even finished yet. Oh wow the goodness of God. Now the part regarding the adoption. We were going to submit the app anyway since we had the new address but they also want photos of where you live. They want one of the outside and 3 of your choice from the inside. So, we are waiting to move to take pics of the house b/c that is where Grace will come home to. At first I felt somewhat frustrated b/c all I could think is...one more month to really get going but then I realized...THIS NEW HOUSE!!! That is our beginning. I cannot begin to tell you what it means to be where we are. I see so much of God's hand in this already it blows my mind. If He can provide a house when we thought there was no possibility, we have nothing to worry about with regards to the money for Grace. She will be here in no time. Soon after we move we plan to get her room ready and just keep on towards the finish line. As we walk this road we have already received so much support and encouragement from people its just crazy. However, when it comes down to plain old inspiration, hands down it comes from Carlos and Heather Whittaker. They are couple from Cali whom we have never met who just recently brought their own little bundle home from a foreign country and Carlos has THE most amazing videos of their journey on his blog. I watch those repeatedly to keep my head above water and to be reminded it will be a reality for us too. Anyway, thanks for being with us on this journey and please send any messages whenever you have time but most of all please just pray for baby Grace. Love you all!
