This last week has not really gone as expected. Maleah and I have been working 9-12 hour days at a concession stand during the Jeux de Canada(Canada Games). Although volunteering at the games and meeting people from different provinces has been fun, the rain and small amount of people at the park has made for a bit of a disappointment in the sales. Fortunately, we have another week to go where the crowds should be larger and we're hoping that the weather decides to cooperate.
But just as I was beginning to feel really discouraged, we received a letter from an organization called Katelyn's Fund. This organization/foundation advocates for adoption and raises money to give to families in the adoption process to help pay for their adoptions. We had applied for a grant from Katelyn's Fund back in May, but were not really expecting to receive any funds from them knowing that hundreds of families apply every year. But after a telephone interview, they decided that they wanted to award our family with a $3,000 grant. Just as I was about to worry and wonder why in the world I was giving so many hours to a concession stand, God reminded me that He had it all in control and that He will provide in His own way. I can go back to the concession stand on Monday and just enjoy meeting people and leave the money situation in His hands.
