The David Crowder Band has a song called "Undignified" which is written about King David dancing before the Lord in celebration. The title of today's post references that.
I write this right now just after walking around the house shaking my head and repeatedly saying in awe, "That is amazing". Remember the post a few days ago about receiving an unasked for no-interest loan that was going to cover our next fee? Yesterday I was going through some paperwork we recently received. Included in this paperwork was an invoice for the next fee. The fee was smaller than we had expected...to the tune of about $2500 smaller. I emailed a question about the invoice to ask about the difference. I just got a response back stating that because of S.'s previous institutionalizations that the fee was reduced to help adjust for this. Ok, so that was amazing, and I kept stating as much. Then I remembered something else. I went to our bank website to check what we owed on our home equity line (only used for adoption fees from earlier in the process) to discover a new praise. Starting with the no-interest loan we were given, minus the fee we were just quoted, minus the amount on our home equity line, we were left over with $95.18 to the good!!!!!!!!!!!! Our next fee was covered, our loan with interest was also covered, and we are now free and clear to focus on our travel expenses. Those will be substantial, BUT, God knew we needed to travel to India to get this little girl when He sent us on the journey. I am certain that some how, in some way, those travel fees will also be taken care of.
I will boast in the Lord.
