Can I just say GOD IS AMAZING! I don’t mean just a little amazing, I mean shout it from the mountaintops AMAZING!!!!
In June we were told that there was little chance that a referral would be received for us by the September 1 deadline. So after almost 2 ½ years we were faced with what we thought was the end of a road for us. Not the end of “the” road, but “a” road. We packed away the baby things that we had been collecting (we even gave some away). We planned a vacation and to put our house on the market (we want to move over to the West Shore where 90% of our lives are.)
Well the vacation was a blast. Lilli, Kristi and I had a great time with Mickey and the gang in Orlando. The house was just about ready. In fact we had just arranged with the realtor to put the sign out on Monday. Then this morning happens.
At 11:00 AM we got a call from our social worker at the agency to let us know that we had a referral. WHAT?! You’ve got to be kidding. Sure enough within minutes we had an email with pictures and information on a precious little girl and a child acceptance form that had to completed and faxed and FedEx’d back today (remember September 1 is Monday.) We had a baby.
Nguyen Xuan Lan (to be named Katelin Lan Foster) was born on June 15 of this year, and currently in Vietnam. We will be traveling to Vietnam in November or December to bring her home.
I guess we hadn’t really gotten to the end of the road. We had gotten to a “T” intersection, and all we had to do was look left and right, and see that the road still continued. And that in time, there on the horizon, we would with God’s guidance, get to our destination.
Can I just say GOD IS AMAZING!
