Showers of Blessings

I will send down showers in season; I will send down showers of blessings. Ezekiel 35:26

This is a strong truth for our family.....our adoption has shown to be one blessing after another, right up to the very end of our waiting......

We've been praying since the start of Miao's adoption to meet other families adopting 13 year old girls.  God allowed these prayers to be fruitful, this past July, when receiving an email with the subject line-"searching for Texas family adopting Huang Miao."  I was left speechless when viewing the email.  It was a family reaching out to us.  Their daughter, who was adopted last October, is friends with Miao.  They learned about us through Miao.  This was our first connection with a family adopting a 13 year old.....but one step better, they had met our daughter and both girls are friends!

Once we started corresponding with this particular family, we quickly connected with 3 other families also adopting older girls from the same orphanage as Miao!  We emailed one another throughout the summer and continued while 2 of the families (recently) traveled to bring their daughters home.  That left 2 of us still waiting....well, to our wonder, we are now traveling at the same time!  YES, we will be in China with our new-found friend, adopting our girls together, at the same time!  We have the blessing of meeting in person and hanging out together during the stay in China. 

The blessings don't stop here. 

The last family we met through email is a family also adopting a 13 year old daughter AND, lives right here in the Houston area!!!  We will have the blessing of living near another family with  a 13 yo from China AND.... we are traveling at the same time!!!!

Our prayers have been fruitful......we are thankful for the shower of blessings that continue to rain down on our family...GOD IS GREAT...ALL THE TIME!
