Changing on a dime

You know it is funny what a difference a day makes. Just yesterday we were struggling through teenage issues with our daughter producing frustration and trying to cope with the nonsupport of a family member on Nate's adoption and some other things that made me really question this whole process. It all just seemed so hard. Never fear, God showed up and once again showed off.

It started early today. A message, the money was coming on Friday. That was huge. That wasn't all...a call, from the non supportive family member. He wanted to know all about the adoption. He wanted to hear about the baby and was genuinely excited about his arrival. Apparently God created space for Nate in his heart, another huge step forward. Then, word from the orphanage. Nate was sick last week with terrible diarrhea. It turns out he had a parasite that is being treated with medicine. It sounds bad, but it isn't. He has had diarrhea on and off for months. Now we have an answer, a fixable problem. Then, I picked up my teenage daughter and she just wanted her mom. She is struggling with friends and just wanted mom. We talked it through and off to church she went with something I haven't seen in about a week...a smile. "I love you Mom.". She said.

Yes, God shows up just in the hardest of times. Now, if we could just get the last of our paperwork done! We are well on our way.
