Being truly rich ...

So I've been praying for God to bless us financially as we try to adopt. We got a letter from the agency two days ago asking for a $550 application fee, non-refundable. Then suddenly the Army remembers it owes us an extra $570 for moving us. Coincidence? I think not. I love the Lord!

While I worry about the money, Sam and I are sitting on the couch. He starts gently running his hand down my face and telling me to go to sleep, as I do to him. Then he takes my book, reads it to me, and sings me a lullabye, just like we do to him. Just looking at that sweet face... I can't help but think about the beginning of our fertility struggle and how a baby seemed so far away and the money seemed a mountain we could never get over. But we did and boy was it worth it. It's so much easier looking at that mountain now when I can look at my baby boy and know I'm going to have another sweet face to look at when it's all over. And it's always so much better than we could have ever imagined!
