Warm fuzzies

My heart is so warmed after the events of the day. First Micala had an orthodontist appointment. I'm not sure how the conversation came up, but we started talking about our adoption. They were so excited for us. It is always fun to talk to someone about our adoption journey. It is even more fun to talk to strangers about it. Why should they care? Yet they do and it is so heart warming.

Then I had an appointment with my "old" doctor from Aberdeen. She was our doctor when I was pregnant with Micala 13 years ago. I wanted to meet with someone concerning travel meds. I have read so much from the people from our agency that have traveled. I had a list of possible meds, but really needed some guidance as to what to actually take. I couldn't really go to our local clinic as they don't deal with the third world country travel. This doctor of ours has been to Haiti so knows a thing or two. I know traveling is very far off. However, I already had to take the afternoon off for Micala's appointment. I always try to schedule as much as I can when we go to Aberdeen. So we talked and she wrote down all that she would prescribed when the time comes. All I have to do is call when we know we will travel.  It was great to see her again and I feel so much comfort having this taken care of.

Once upon a time, I was looking into pediatricians in the area. I did some internet searches and did some emailing. The lady that read my email, has been helping us ever since. God sent me an angel. This lady has been a true gift to us. She has helped us in so many ways. We needed to get Hep. A shots, but we couldn't get them in Bowdle. She made the accomodations for us to come and get them done in Aberdeen. She made sure it worked for us. She has been an AMAZING resource for us!!! She works for Sanford Clinic that had a name change recently. They have some t-shirts with the old clinic logo on it. They can't use them, but are giving them to us to take to our orphanage. They are good shirts, they just can't use them. Today, I finally got to meet our little angel. She took me around the clinic and showed me the ins and outs of the building. I met lots of people that knew me. This lady had talked about us in a meeting to make sure it was okay that they give the shirts to us. Again, it was almost overwhelming to meet these people that didn't know us, yet cared so much and were so excited  for us!! I know all of these things are mini blessings from God. He told us that this adoption was His plan for our family. We accepted the challenge even as hard as it may be. It is humbling to sit back after a day like today and see how God really is showing us what we knew all along---that this is His plan for us and that He will provide.
