Coincedences? or more?
Today was one of those days that was interesting in alot of ways. I had woke up not feeling to great and feeling like my head was in a cloud and my throat was in the gutter. Its been awhile since Ive been sick but this one is nothing to mess with. It came on strong and fast , but even in my sick cloud I was alert enough to hear the word Ethiopia come out of my director's mouth from a distance. I asked him what he was referring to and he told me that he was in route this saturday to Addis Abba to document his in-laws adoption journey. I was excited.... real excited to hear that he was going to Ethiopia.....The place that I have dreamed about for almost a year. I was also excited to hear about his in-laws amazing adoption stories. They seem like amazing people and are really following a path that is being laid for them. On top of that , having the whole thing documented is awesome!!! Mark , the director I have been working with definitely has a big heart and is following it. Its nice to see him taking time out of his busy schedule to be with his in-laws and to spend time shooting them on one of the most important trips they will ever take. Its was great to talk to him about Ethiopia and how great his trip was going to be. I could see the excitement in his eyes and I know that he is going to be forever touched by this trip. Hes following his instincts and heart not money or fame.That' s an admirable thing and something we all have to remember to do. He is putting together a documentary encompassing all of there adoptions and the heart and love that it takes to pursue these amazing children. I cant wait to see it and cant wait to hear how his trip goes. Its just another coincidence that has popped up recently in regards to our adoption. I was very thankful for having these conversations with Mark.

Hi! I just found you through Suzi's blog. I was so excited to read that you are so close to getting a referral. We got our referral of a baby boy on Feb. 4th. I hope that by the time we travel (we haven't made it through court but hope to travel in April) you will have received your referral so I can send you pics of your baby. I'll be checking in with you often.

No, I don't think they are coincedences! We live very purposeful lives with Christ! Everything has a purpose; there is nothing random about it! It is probably God's way of encouraging you throughout your adoption journey:) Enjoy those special moments!
Amanda & Phil- Congratulations on your latest developments! It sounds like you're getting closer and closer to receiving your referral. With any luck, maybe we'll both have some good news soon. Our referral is supposed to be headed our way soon too! And, we're glad to hear that you survived the sticker shock on the shots...we thought the same thing-how much could they cost? Turns out we were all REALLY off! Anyway, we wish you guys the best of luck. Keep us posted! Love, Mike & Lorisa LaRocca
How incredibly amazing that you know Mark! I love that he went to Ethiopia with the Clarks and am so looking forward to see what comes out of it. SO cool!
