God's timing is always perfect!

Last night I was working on sewing one of my pillowcases dresses for a customer when the phone rang. Hunter answered it before I got to it and said he wasn't sure who it was. I said hello and it was our social worker. I figured she was just wanting to check in and make sure everything was going good for us. Instead she started to tell me that there was a little girl that they were wondering if we would be interested in. My heart stopped for a second. Was this really happening? It couldn't be, we thought with the way things were going for referrals of little girls in Korea, it would be a least a few more months before this call would come. Yet, God had different plans because his timing his always prefect!

I personally had always felt that when the time came for us to receive this call, it would be "the" child because it was the one that God had guided the individuals at Holt to select for our family. There were a few minor issues such as her being born early and having jaundice for a while at birth but right now she is perfectly healthy. How could I say no to the daughter God had placed in our hands? I hadn't even seen her picture but I felt 100% sure that we should accept the referral.

Wednesday rolled around and we gave the social worker a call requesting a copy of the info she had given me verbally the night before over the phone . Chad and I opened the email and saw the pictures of our beautiful daughter. It was surreal! I was thrilled and couldn't wait to call the sw and let her know we would accept the referral. Chad was excited too but wanted to make sure everything was good by thoroughly reading through her file that day.

At about 2:40pm we made the official decision and I made a phone call to our sw. We accepted the referral and we couldn't be happier!

We are now waiting for all the paper to arrive via FedEx Thursday, Friday but hopefully before Tuesday. God is so good!!!
