God is Moving

What started out as a nice little getaway to visit Nate's Grandparents turned into a blessing fest!  First and foremost, Nate's Grandparents are two of the most wonderful people I have ever known.  They are loving, caring, self sacrificing and so giving.  They love the Lord with a contagious love.  Their main goal in life is to serve.  Very selfless people who will drop everything to be there for anyone.  Just being able to spend time with them is our first blessing.  Friday night as we sat down to dinner with them, Grandpa asked Nate if he would be willing to share our adoption journey with his Sunday School class.  Of course, Nate said yes.  An hour later Nate was working earnestly on a presentation for the class.  This morning,our second blessing came when Nate was able to share what's been going on.  We are extremely passionate about caring for the orphans and it was so nice to be able to raise awareness for this cause.  The response from everyone in the room was blessing number three.  We felt supported and encouraged and know that we have  gained several new prayer warriors on our behalf and most importantly, the fatherless.  It's so exciting to see how God is moving. He is. He really is.  I have struggled the last few weeks with trust.  I have had times when I forgot that this is HIS story and HIS mission, HE is just using us to accomplish this work.  I am humbled that God could use even me......which is blessing (more like, miracle) number four.  Blessing number five came when we were presented with a generous donation today.  We couldn't believe it!  I'm not mentioning any names, because knowing these people they wouldn't want to be in the spotlight, but you know who you are and we are so very thankful to you!!  I hope that I don't lose sight of all I learned today.  It's sad, but more often than not I will one day have a thankful heart, then fall asleep that night and wake the next day and not even remember.  I really can't stand my human-ness sometimes.  God has blessed us this weekend and we are so undeserving.  He is good.
