Blessings on the Journey

After Church today chris got an envelope out of our church mailbox and here is what it said: Mr. and Mrs., Christian, Chloe, and Trayton. I want to tell you how happy and excited I am about your decision to adopt a child from Ethiopia. Over the past two months I havent given my 10% tithe to church, but instead I have saved it in an envelope marked Fishers. It is my prayer that with this money the adoption process will be made a little easier. Ever since I heard about your decision, I have wanted to help in any way possible. Since I really can't cook more than toast, I figured making meals may not be the best option. When I went to the benefit concert put on by peder eide and saw how much an adoptin cost, I decided to save a few bucks and try to make the process easier financially. the child you are adopting will be very, very blessed by your family. They will have wonderful siblings and 2 amazing parents. God Bless, A Friend

We have no idea what young person wrote this and I wish I could give them a great Big Hug!!! This person has no idea what an encouragement and blessing they have been to our family today. This is what makes the wait more barable and knowing God is really in control and he really does provide in amazing ways.
