What a week! It all started with an unexpected phone call. An anonymous person from our church was wanting to help us with our adoption...with a very large donation! We were in shock. And the amount more than covers our airfare to Ethiopia! God provides in so many ways, but I confess He really took me by surprise this time.
My nesting instinct also kicked in and I've been on a whirlwind decluttering mission throughout the house, from top to bottom. The result? A very clean and reorganized master closet, a complete overhaul of the entire basement, and believe it or not, we rediscovered our garage actually has a floor. I guess when you remove more than two vans-full of assorted junk from your house (I mean that literally!), you can reclaim some much needed space. Special thanks to my very dear Hannah, who faithfully stuck by my side during my cleaning spree.
Jonathan, who is graduating from high school one week after we get back from Ethiopia, got back a very respectable score on his recent ACT exam. Danielle has a flute recital on Saturday. And come Sunday, very dear friends are giving us an adoption shower.
Can this week get any better??
