Wait til you hear what my God did today!
Many of our friends and family were very generous financially for our journey to Delaney Maria:) We were in hopes that we could "pay it forward" somehow. We had asked our attorneys to find out what Pip Squeak's orphanage might be in need of. Originally, they had mentioned that they were in need of a new microwave and DVD player. So, we planned to purchase those once we arrived. Upon our arrival, they told us that actually they really needed a new hot water heater. We checked prices at a couple different stores and Larry and I looked at each other with a bit of scary looks on our faces. Yikes! We decided not to rule it out. We would wait to see how much money we had on a Mastercard "gift" card we had put some of our money on, that we got at the bank, after the "required" expenses of the adoption were taken care of.
So.....we have finished the "expense" part and I check the balance on the card, $535.
That should be enough, with deliver and installation.
Raul and Maria Elena take us to purchase it today.
THE TOTAL WAS $532!!!!!!!
People, I can't make up something this good!
All four of us just hugged each other because of what we had just been allowed to be a part of. Huge smiles and tiny tears.
There have been plenty of stories of little details that have worked out...just perfectly! PERFECTO!!!
Big deal, you might say, a water heater for an orphanage. It's not just an orphanage. It's the orphanage that houses and cares for God's children. Little ones that He has a HUGE heart for. It's an orphanage that poured 3 years of love into our little girl with people that He handpicked to be an answer to our prayers, "Lord, please let someone be loving our daughter, wherever she is right now".
So many of our prayers have been answered.
In the words of my darling Delaney Maria's bedtime prayer...."Gracias "Hey-Sus (Jesus)"
