(He is used to this....and forgives me for my frustrations born of weakness and impatience) <br />I won't get into details here, but I will just say that yesterday I released my financial burden to Him. I have done all that I can, and can no longer handle the constant anxiety. I told God that I trusted His plan (he has been leading me on quite an adventure these past 2 years!) but that my financial concerns were getting in the way, so I would no longer stress...I was giving the burden to Him.<br />2 hours later, with no explanation other than "God's hand was in this"....a formerly VERY DIFFICULT banker informed me that there was an error on their part, to the tune of $2,000. That is $6 more than my mortgage payment this month. <br />So, yeah.....I have faith.<br />Thank you for sharing your story of "God's Fortune!"Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10185046744175536283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349289381257497792.post-61409259500175587092012-10-25T21:00:16.681-07:002012-10-25T21:00:16.681-07:00Thank you so much for sharing this.....Thank you so much for sharing this.....Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05265203665195988963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349289381257497792.post-3752915951961712002012-10-23T08:18:37.335-07:002012-10-23T08:18:37.335-07:00OH Gentry!

There's so much more connection now, if that makes sense. It amazes me how natural every scene looks with her in it. Speaking of scenes, nativity by Diego is AWESOME! As a mom to three boys I can say that is the best nativity I've ever seen. Congrats on such a fabulous addition.

They typically have smaller mouths--with means that their typically sized tongues "hang out" or protrude. So ya--the "caregivers" at the orphanage had it even more wrong!<br /><br /> :) MaryMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05751610792395670431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349289381257497792.post-71503744219884663562011-12-30T09:01:31.401-08:002011-12-30T09:01:31.401-08:00What a beautiful family photo.
