Disappointment

In the past two days, we have been turned down by two of the four adoption grants for which we applied. One was a matching grant. One was for an undefined amount of cash.

We did get approved for an interest-free loan for $5,000. Half of it will need to be repaid by June '08, and the other half by June '09. This is a good thing, but it pales in comparison to free money.

About one week ago, we started praying for good news of some kind. Since then, we have gotten the double rejection.

We are grateful for the loan. And we know that God will give us all we need. But it is hard to not be disappointed.

Please, pray about our spirits, and about the remaining two grants. Thank you.

Keep praying! God is good and He will provide what you need. I'm amazed how every time we need money for our adoption, it somehow comes through. Our tax refund was only $50 short of what we have to pay for our home study! I look forward to reading about all the ways God is going to provide for your adoption. You're in our prayers.
