Recently {in the Deadbeat Dad Series} I eluded to something that was going on over here. It was something that Dw and I had done and were so regretful regarding.
We had asked the Lord to forgive us for our stupidity and asked Him humbly to make it right for us. He didn’t have to, it was just kind of one of those things that was “our own dumb fault”.
I believe that possibly, one day, I will share the story.
But for now, I will publicly declare His praises.
He has done great things.
He has moved on our behalf.
He is faithful.
We rejoice.
And unbeknownst to any of us, today would be the day God chose to move.
And unbeknown to only God, that the other day when our sweet friends, Stan and Shelby asked our family to come celebrate an early Thanksgiving with them {tonight!}, that today would be the day God would have moved on our behalf.
How amazingly appropriate is that?
Thanksgiving dinner tonight – with all the trimmings – with our dear friends – celebrating what God has done for us!
We have so much to celebrate and be thankful for!!!
“Weeping may last through the night,
but joy comes with the morning.”
Curiosity killed the cat and I must be a cat. 😉 So thankful that God moved on your behalf – especially in areas of regret.
And what even more joy is to end the day sharing wonderful food and making memories with family and friends.
Thankful for your "role" – however distant in my life, Linny.
A great reminder of God's faithfulness. His mercies are new every morning! So thankful!
Our God is so faithful! (Even when we pay the Stupid Tax. Not that I've ever had to pay that…) Praise God for His love and mercy!
Dear Linny, Praising Him with you, that He is every faithful to move on His Children's behalf. Praising Him to that even behind the scenes He is moving in my d.h. heart and spirit and that one day my beloved will call Him by name.
Praising God with you sweet sister.
Love, Noreen
Signing His praises! How GREAT is our God! What a privilege it has been praying with you over this issue! YIPPY JESUS!
Rejoicing with you in whatever circumstance God has moved! 🙂

Praise the Lord, Linny!! That is wonderful news. I'm rejoicing with you and your family. Wish I was there to give a hug in person.
Praise the Lord!
He moved a mountain for us today too & I am praising His name! I think I had mentioned on here that we are in the process of adopting a wonderful 13y/o daughter that is deaf-mute. She turns 14 March 9th & we have to finalized the adoption by her birthday or she ages out.
We arrived home August 5th, 2012 with our first daughter from China. God had called us to adopt again within 3 weeks of us being home. I knew exactly how Moses felt when he tried to bargain & persuade God as he didn't think he was good enough. This wasn't Moses' idea or plan; it was clearly God's plan! I can understand because I stood in Moses'shoes and bargained and questioned God in the beginning. We had just gotten home, we were still exhausted, we've never raised a teenager, we don't know much about deaf-muteness, we were in debt from our first adoption which cost us more than typical. I just knew that there was someone better for this road, but No that wasn't God's plan.
However even with all the doubt and fears, we took our biggest leap of Faith. We trusted His plan and began the adoption journey with more unanswered questions than answers. I wont lie and say it's been the easiest, but we have been blessed and He has provided!
We owe a fee to our homestudy agent next week. I've been trying not to "worry" about how we are going to pay and have been praying "Ö.k. God show me the money. Where am I to find these funds?" We have about 1/3 of the fees saved from an extra job. Today, just when I needed a boost the most, a check came in the mail unexpectedly for 1/3 of this fee. We now have 2/3 -not 100% YET but I have no doubt God will provide in His time! God has provided in ways we never expected!
We are walking on Blind faith & letting Him lead the way. I just wanted to give a "shout out" (lol) to God and wonder why I ever worry?
I just wanted to share in hopes it would encourage someone else to have Faith! Sometimes it helps to see His works for that little reminder!

Amen!
Praise the Lord!!!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving evening! 😀
(through tears and sobs) Thank you. I needed that today.
Have a wonderful early THANKSgiving tonight~~~
So needed to hear this and thankful He blessed you all. I am really facing so much and needed this encouragement. Thankyou.
Yea God! Praising God with you! God is good!
Linny, You don't have to approve this for all to see…but you mentioned something to me and since you mentioned it, I have been praying. I will continue to pray even if it has been answered, but I am just so excited that once again, you get to see God work! What a joy. No matter what, we have the privilege of going before His throne so that whatever mistakes we make, He is still in control. Love that you share so that we all can be reminded. THANK YOU and PRAISE GOD for His blessings!!!!!!!!!
Oh, sweet testimony to His goodness! So very thankful for His remedy right along with you.~Stacey
This is sweet mercy. Thank you for sharing. We all need that.
Happy for you all!
