I'm telling you,
God is providing every single nickle for this adoption.
I am in awe of His faithfulness.
In.Complete.Awe.
But, it gets better....
We got our LOA today!!
WAY fast, my friends.

Oh Lori,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you! How wonderful and amazing is our God!! We are praying for our Lord to provide for our newest adoption as well! Could you lift us up to our Heavenly Father as you pray?
We are loving seeing your newest journey. How exciting! Your husband will be in China before you know it!!

ReplyDeleteI am new to reading your Blog - and I think i'm behind...can you catch me up on the country you're adopting from and could you also please decode "LOA" and "LID". I know what $4000 means :) just not these letters! And the Lord is good - He is always good!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Lori!!! What an awesome day you have had!!!!! The Lord is good!!
ReplyDeleteLori, congratulations! That is huge news and I know it is such a blessing.

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness!!!! That is amazing!!! And what great news about grant!!!You are right behind us!!!
ReplyDeleteGod is faithful! I am very happy for you! The stress of saving/raising money hangs on for awhile....I am still surprised when I see money in the checking account that isn't earmarked for some big expense coming down the road.
ReplyDeleteHey! I missed that you have a private blog...any chance I can get on it? Thanks
So very, very happy for you! God always provides the way for His children to follow Him. Isn't it awesome to watch Him work through adoption? And I'm another one that missed the private blog! I have a feeling that might be the one I need right now! : )
ReplyDeleteOh my word friend...this is amazing...praise the LORD!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so happy for you! As I am getting ready to nod off to sleep, this is the best news ever! And it's not even my news! Congratulations! Love watching God work it all out.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'll have to share with you at a later date about that cheesy picture of you and what God taught me through it! He's using you in mighty ways my dear! Mighty ways! Congratulations once again!
Wow... Amazing!!! So happy for you and congratulations on LOA.
ReplyDeleteYAY God is right!!!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!

Praise God!! Awesome news about the grant & the LOA!! I'm rejoicing with you!
ReplyDeleteWe serve an amazing God! I'm so happy for you Lori!
ReplyDeleteLori, that's SO awesome!! God is good (all the time!!)...
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Thank you for your kind reply and decoding the initials. I suppose every country has their codes, and since I didn't recognize them I figured it wasn't from a country I was familiar with.
ReplyDeleteIn looking at the pictures of your children (I'm guessing), are your girls also adopted, also from China? I'm amazed and so thankful to see so many families following the Lord's command to care for orphans and especially adopting older children! Babies are always so sweet ~ but these older kids so desperately need homes too!
I have heard that the wait for travel in China is long. since you are pursuing an older child will that speed things along, relatively speaking?
Blessings to you also friend!

Praise God! "...He is the rewarder of those who diligently see Him" Hebrews 11:6.
ReplyDeleteI would love to pass my email to you! healyfamily7@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteWere your girls also older/special needs? and what about the 2 boys? bio or adopted also?
PRAISE GOD! What a great testimony for your son to hear!
ReplyDeleteDouble yay! What fantastic news! Such multiple blessings - it must have felt like an early Christmas for you!
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Nicole A., now in LA
Yeah Lori!! That is incredible!! I am so happy for you all and so in awe of God's goodness and provision...Praise Him!!!
