I woke up late (oops) and stumbled out of the bedroom- actually out of Elly's bed because of nightmares and such
and was sort of in a daze. I saw a pile of mail on the counter- Dan must have brought in yesterday's mail when he started the car this morning. I sift through it-- nothing that special EXCEPT the package from a friend from the boards (yippee) and if it wasn't taped up to high heaven I would've opened it first... thanks Jill.......Then I saw a weird white envelope...with only the words "Dan and Shadley" typed on it and it was taped up pretty good too. I opened it up, and saw a piece of paper with Isaiah 58 on it...cool, very cool, since we have read that verse over and over and think of it as our adoption verse. Then as I opened it further, a stack of money fell out. MONEY. SERIOUSLY. one thousand dollars. Who does this??????? Does God have a type writer??? It was amazing!! It was a miracle. God has provided for us in so many emotional ways lately and that is SO enough for us, and then HE provides (Jehovah Jireh)-- for our materials needs too!!!! He is AMAZING. and REAL. Wow. I am in shock.
The first thing I said was, "God, what are you doing??" And then I laughed! Then I called Dan!
I do not want to know who did this. But whoever it is, you are a saint and you will be rewarded in Heaven. God bless you.
Dan was already at work so the girls and I talked about it. Eden said, "Well, that's how you get the proof!" Sometimes, the words that come out of that girl's mouth are little miracles in themselves!
And this is so ridiculous that I haven't thought of this, but Esias is the Greek word for Isaiah...miracles. Miracles, I tell you. Thank you Jesus.
