God's timing is something that I have always struggled with. I am a jump in with both feet sort of gal. This process of adopting our Little Bitty Bit is certainly a lesson in being mindful of God's timing.
Hubs job has been in a bit of limbo over the last few months. The government agency he contracts for is moving to a whole different part of the state. We were not moving. By God's grace at literally the last hour his contract was signed and he will now be teleworking full time.
Teleworking means many things. It means a more happy and rested Hubs which I am very thankful for. It also means freeing up a whole lot of income. We are now in a position to sell one of our cars. If we are both at home there is no need to have two vehicles. Selling the car will free us of a car payment, added insurance money, extra taxes, maintenance on the second vehicle, and extra gas money. Tons of cash.
Earlier this week we paid the application fee for the adoption which was $350. Now we are filling out another set of paperwork. We have to submit $2500 with this set of paperwork. Today we filled out lots of papers and listed our car for sale on Facebook, Craigslist, and a local paper.
By the grace of God we have this asset available to liquidate so that we can bring home Little Bitty Bit. I am in awe of how all of these things so beautifully align. Fall perfectly into place and all by the design of my maker. I am so richly blessed.
AWW :) I love when things just fall into place!
