God is in the business of miracles...

I had a not so great day today. I woke up to find that Michel was not feeling well, and had a temp of 102. SO, I get everyone off the school and then take him to the Doctor. Oh, by the way, I had a passport appointment that had to be rescheduled from 11, until 1:30. No big deal, I could still fit it in. Sooo, I get to the doctor. They do a strep test, it's negative, but they are treating him for it anyway, because he has all the symptoms. While I am waiting on the DR. to come back in, my phone rings. It is the school. C-baby is running a temp of 103. YIKES!! Really. For those of you who know me, you know it's usually bad when C-baby is sick. He usually gets admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. SO, there went my 1:30 appointment. So, I'll try that again tomorrow. Okay, Okay on to the miracle.

I have a new prospective client with Faithful Adoption Consultants. A very sweet couple so far. They have wanted to adopt for many years, and have been unsuccessful. So they came to us, with little hope that we can help them through this process. Easy to understand why. Anyway, they have had many rejections for a number of SILLY reasons. I don't want to be too descriptive, b/c their info is confidential. However, I want to share how AWESOME GOD is. HOW HE IS IN THE BUSINESS OF MIRACLES. He cares about the smallest details! Anyway, her hubby had some health concerns 8-9 years ago. YEARS, PEOPLE! YEARS!! Not yesterday! So, agencies have been reluctant to work with, or have flat out told them NO! I was shocked. Unfortunately, that is not the only stumbling block that they face. They also face the fact of living abroad. They are US citizens that are currently living in another country for work reasons. They are only their temporarily. SO, now we have to get around this little problem.

Well, I called the prospective client (PC) at 10 am this morning. I discussed with her their situation, preferences, and history. They have through so much, and she still has a great, positive attitude. Hopeful, without being overly excited! SO, I told her that I wanted to talk to some agencies, look over different state laws, and talk to some home study agencies about living abroad. I literally called 25 people from 10-2. It was very discouraging. The agencies were great, but everyone I talked to about a home study said NO, it can't be done. IT can't be done, that is impossible. Well, nothing is impossible for my GOD!!!

I prayed. I prayed for this couple, for their journey, for their past hurt, for their future, for their future child, and for the birth mom that would so generously give them their child. I prayed, I prayed fervently. I begged God to work a miracle, to show me a way to work this out for them. To provide an agency that could do a home study abroad, to help us know which states we can work with. I prayed, and prayed. I know MY GOD IS BIGGER THAN THIS, I know if HE chooses to, HE CAN MAKE THIS HAPPEN!

I finished up my prayer, just being thankful for so much, thankful that our business is growing by leaps and bounds, and that GOD is blessing us each and every day! We are in awe of HIM. He is reminding me everyday of HIS GLORY, HIS STRENGTH and HIS MAGNIFICENCE. I ended my prayer, AMEN. LITERALLY, 1 SECOND LATER....my phone rang. It was an agency that will/can do this. They can provide this couple with the home study that they need to adopt here in the US. I was thrilled, overwhelmed. Words cannot express how I felt at that moment. To see your prayers answered instantaneously is AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, and a reminder of HIS POWER!!

SO, I called the PC to let her know the GREAT news. I don't know what this couple will decide to do, maybe they won't decide to work with us. THAT IS OKAY! GOd's demonstration was what HE wanted me to have, to see, if I gain their business, what a bonus! But, I have already had the BEST OUTCOME EVER!!!!!
