God's Perfect Timing!
Today was an important day. I went to the bank to make a deposit and transfer our final payment to our adoption agency. I was hoping the manager who helped me with the previous payment (just before our first trip) would be working. Instead, I learned that she had been transferred to another branch 15 minutes away. I could have had the new manager help me, but I really felt like I was supposed to have the other one do it, and so I drove the 15 minutes just to find her. When I walked in, she threw her hands up and said "Emily! I just mailed you a packet today! I'm so glad you're here!" She had been trying to reach me concerning some documents that needed signed for our "Journey to Hope" account. Had she not reached me, she would have had to put a freeze on our money -- praise God that I listened and went to that branch! She was also able to help me with several other things that we needed to do to prepare to travel again and gave me a big hug with tears in her eyes when I left. It was such a neat thing to see how Hope's story is touching people. She asked me to come back when she's home, which I will do eventually, that is, after we visit the County Clerk, the Auditor's office, the ladies at Kroger's deli, etc., lol. So many people want to meet this special, long awaited beautiful little girl who will soon be ours!! :)
