The Lady on the side of the Road- Incredible encounters with generous people!

I have wanted to blog for 3 weeks to let you know of how incredible people have been to us through this process. Our God continues to blow me away by His generousity and His Spirit living through others to touch us in incredible ways during this process. I have to tell you about one such encounter.

I was putting garage sale signs out several weeks ago on a busy Friday afternoon about 4:30pm. James had listed our garage sale on Craig's List and had mentioned that 100% of our sales were going toward our adoption. So as I was carrying the only sign we were putting out that had our adoption mentioned on it at a very busy intersection. A lady called me from her car. She was turning at the busy intersection I was approaching. She mentioned that she had seen our add on Craig's List and handed me a $20 dollar bill. She said that she had done the same with her son who was sitting beside her in the car. Can you believe it? That I would be carrying that sign at exactly the same time that she was turning and that she saw our add and that God moved her to be so generous to a stranger. It touched my heart in such a big way. My God, you are so good to orchestrate such a meeting! Thank you sweet lady on the corner of North Springs and Clemson! And thank you our God!
