We all knew this was coming...
If I could cry, laugh and shout all at once, I would! Because God is so good. Because tonight I sat at my friends kitchen table mulling over ideas on how to come up with the rest we needed and as I drove home I mulled it over with the Lord.
This weekend was an emotionally messy one! It was HARD to be one week from traveling and having no idea where money was going to come from! There were so many times I questioned if we made a mistake saying that we would go early when our agency asked. I wondered if we prayed about it enough, did we miss a sign or something? Were we not hearing him correctly? Because he poured out a lot of money in two weeks and we knew it was him confirming our steps. Then things kind of stalled and I kind of freaked out. Why, why do I ever doubt his goodness and provision?
We are blessed beyond measure by the people who were obedient and generous and helped us do this in three weeks. It is the absolute best thing to be surrounded by a community of believers who love adoption, who were willing to give what they had whether it was time, an item, money or prayer and to be a part of a church that operates the way the Lord designed it to!
In seven days we board a plane for Uganda and there will be one less orphan!
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens!
Praise him from the skies!
2 Praise him, all his angels!
Praise him, all the armies of heaven!
3 Praise him, sun and moon!
Praise him, all you twinkling stars!
4 Praise him, skies above!
Praise him, vapors high above the clouds!
5 Let every created thing give praise to the Lord,
for he issued his command, and they came into being.
6 He set them in place forever and ever.
His decree will never be revoked.

7 Praise the Lord from the earth,
you creatures of the ocean depths,
8 fire and hail, snow and clouds,[a]
wind and weather that obey him,
9 mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
10 wild animals and all livestock,
small scurrying animals and birds,
11 kings of the earth and all people,
rulers and judges of the earth,
12 young men and young women,
old men and children.

13 Let them all praise the name of the Lord.
For his name is very great;
his glory towers over the earth and heaven!
14 He has made his people strong,
honoring his faithful ones—
the people of Israel who are close to him.
