His Love is Extravagant!

I know you are all anxiously waiting to hear about whether we were able to reach the $200 that we needed! I want to tell you that YES because of your generous hearts we are there! We spoke with our agency today and they said we can overnight our dossier tomorrow so that our package will arrive early Monday morning! They will review it to make sure everything is in order with our paperwork and then they will assign us a NUMBER ON THE WAITLIST! I am so excited about that! I can't believe it!

Now, for the EVEN MORE AMAZING NEWS! Two nights ago, Brian and I prayed and cried, unsure of how to pay for the last amount of the dossier fee and wondered how we were going to pay for the USCIS (Immigration fee) that is to come RIGHT after turning in the dossier. We just decided to take ONE thing at a time and pray for the $200 to get that dossier fee taken care of. We decided we would worry about the $800 fee for USCIS afterwards.

Can I share with you that because of your LOVE for our daughter and adoption and your generous hearts that GOD has covered the $200 that we lacked AND ALL BUT $100 of the USCIS FEE! I'm serious! THAT IS INCREDIBLE TO ME! When we ask God for one thing, He has something much bigger in mind!

So, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS! Also, a special THANK YOU to the mysterious doorbell ringer! A few hours ago, I was putting pieces in our puzzle (which I am trying to quicky finish up so I can show you all a picture!) and the doorbell rang. Brian went to the door and there was an envelope taped to the door that said "God Bless" on it. Inside was a donation to our adoption! We have no idea who this is from but we are so grateful to all of you that have prayed and supported our adoption so far!

God's love and plans for us are SO extravagant and better than we can see!




Love,
Brian, Angela, and Isabel
