Happy 4th of July and an incredible surpirse

Happy 4th of July to everyone!!
What an amazing country that we live in that we are FREE! I so much think of that especially in light of the quarrantines China....and NOT being able to leave...kind of unthinkable here it the US. I am so very blessed to live here!

We are celebrating here with our annual 4th of July bash at my Dads house! We have everyone here including my sisters, stepbrother, my grandparents and of course my beautiful niece! What wondeful family time, I can post any shots right now since I forgot my card reader as well as my usb cord at home :-(

But on to my incredible surprise....

You remeber my last post that I posted July 1? The one about needing prayers...about the grant? I have to say WE GOT IT!!!! WOOHOOO!!!! What a beautiful blessing this is for us! The incredible thing is that I posted about needing the prayers on July 1.....we were approved on July 2!! Well before we were supposed to hear an answer! Thank you so much for the prayers, Thank you Lord for blessing us, and thank you Gift of Adoption for helping us so incredibly!!! They are such an awsome organization!

Mark 11:24
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

We are so excited! The Lord is providing for us yet again...we are so very close now, and in the final stretch!!! We are still a bit short, but we are confident God will provide these last funds just as He has provided every cent for us so far!

Blessings

Amy
