A Boy Named Thailand

I had to post this after my post from Friday. My bubble had been busted a little. I prayed yesterday and asked God to just show me if we are doing the right thing. My brother asked me if I thought God was shutting a door. Well, this morning in Sunday school my pastor taught on Joseph being an adopted father to Jesus. His whole talk was on how Joseph accepted Jesus and raised him like his own. I will add that he and Nancy have an adopted daughter from China.

So this afternoon the kids and I went to Wal-Mart. Ours is the worst in North America. I kid you not. We were waiting in the LONG line to check out. There was a mom, dad, and 3 kids ahead of us. The mom and I struck up a conversation. She called to her son and said "Thailand". I was surprised and asked what his name was again and she "Thailand - like the country". I told her that we were adopting from Thailand. Then Kara told the little boy that she was getting a baby from Thailand. The little boy looked at his mom and asked "Am I giving her a baby"? That part was funny and I think the mom was a little embarrassed.

I know that little meeting was a destiny moment. Do you think both of these events in one day was a coincidence? I think not. I am encouraged and know that we will have a great testimony after our adoption journey.
