We were overjoyed this past week when we received a call from Katelyn's Fund approving us for an adoption grant. THANKS BE TO GOD! God continues to amaze us with His provision. This grant will be sent directly to our agency and is a great provision towards our next fee.
We had an interview with the Katelyn's fund board on November 22nd. At the close of our interview the board members prayed for our child(ren), our adoption process and our family. We were very touched by their heart felt prayers. It made me look forward to the day when I can tell our child who was praying for him...and for us to see how God is answering those prayers even now. What an AWESOME God we serve!!!
Isaiah 45: 2-3 are verses that we have been praying over our adoption process. "I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; I will shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars. And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden wealth of secret places, in order that you may know that it is I, the Lord, the God of Israel who calls you by name."
I was thinking how receiving this grant is part of God making the rough places smooth...for our child(ren).
Do you think our little one knows that a mighty God is moving on his behalf...on another continent ...through a group of people in a small town in Iowa...to help a family in South Dakota...pay adoption fees to an agency in Oregon....to bring him home?
It has been so wonderful and encouraging to hear of how God continues to provide for you (and for your soon to be child or children)!
