Yes, I'm still breathing!

I guess it's time for an update. Nothing too exciting going on, continually being blessed through this process. We have our home visit Friday, so we've been super busy cleaning and organizing. The men have been working feverishly to finish our new bathroom. I've come to the realization that it will not be done by Friday. However, I'm fine with it, and I hope our Social Worker will be too. Our house looks great, just a few last minute things to do Thursday night and Friday morning. AND if I could just find a way to make Macy stop shedding between now and then! Hopefully the Social Worker will be a dog lover too!

Last week, we were unexpectedly blessed. We got a card in the mail, with a very nice letter, from someone (who will remain unnamed, simply because I didn't ask them if I could blog about this!) who came across some money they forgot about. They felt led by God to use the money for something good. They chose to send that money to help us, bring home our little miracle. They actually, out of nowhere, mailed us a check!!! I am still overwhelmed when I think about it. WHO DOES THAT? A fellow Christian, that's who! Thank you thank you thank you to that family, who is so loving and caring that they could have the faith to help someone so selflessly. We can't wait for the day when we can repay them, or pay it forward, to help the next person in need of God's grace.

INDESCRIBABLE. That's how I've been feeling, and this Chris Tomlin song has been stuck in my head ever since we received that card.

From the highest of heights, to the depths of the sea,
Creation's revealing your majesty.
From the colors of fall, to the fragrance of spring,
Every creature unique in the song that it sings.
All exclaiming
Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky and you know them by name
You are amazing God.
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God.
Who has told every lightening bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow.
Who imagined the sun and gave source to it's light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night.
None can fathom
Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky and you know them by name
You are amazing God.
All powerful, untamable
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God.
You are amazing God.
