At some point in my life maybe I will stop being surprised by how God continually provides for our needs, but I have not reached that point yet. We got a call from our social worker on Monday informing us that we need to do an update on our home study. We get to fill out more forms, etc. and she has to come visit us at our house on Monday. Along with the update comes a $300 fee. As always we pray that God will help us to pay the costs each step along the way.
Last night, we had some family over for dinner, and this morning I found a card with a check for $300 inside with a designation for "Sam's sister" in the corner. I was completely overwhelmed. We had not even mentioned the upcoming home study update fee. These are the moments when I am still amazed at how God speaks to His people, and how they listen and obey. As the body of Christ, if we all listened and obeyed whenever God speaks to us, I believe there is no end to what could happen. It is wonderful that he allows us to be a part of his blessings on others by giving and receiving.
During this Thanksgiving holiday season I am as always grateful for my family and friends, and especially thankful to serve a God who cares about every situation in our lives. Sometimes we get to see special evidence of this, and other times we are left to keep the faith without seeing His hand, but I know that he is always there. Always.

Awesome!!! I love how God provides!
I need to be reminded of this. We need $500 for our profile to even get shown with BCS. More fees right after that. Strangely, not worried about this...
I can't remember the exact sum but I remember about 3 years ago when we had a unexpected need for $300 for our adoption. The very same day we received a check from you for the full amount we needed. You(Angeline)had sent it weeks before but it was delivered to the wrong address and we got it the very day we need it. God is amazing!!
