But $3,330 and 3 weeks of precious vacation time from work!?!
The Bible is filled with God's assurances that He will provide (Matt 6:31-34, Matt 7:9-11, 2 Cor 9:8-11). But do those promises really apply to us? I'm no prophet and certainly no apostle. And yet, I can think back to numerous instances where God has provided just enough at just the right moments to know that it's no mere coincidence. When we adopted Luke, in spite of all of our research and the information that our adoption agency had provided, we found ourselves short of funds. Just as we needed it, we received a check from our mortgage company. The balance on our escrow account was too high so they were returning a substantial amount.
Peg asked the other night if we'd have to take out a loan. "No," I answered. "Remember that email we got from work the other day for our annual bonus? It'll come just in time for us to pay for the trip."
As for the 3 weeks of vacation, I'm ashamed to even consider that as an objection. I'm blessed to be able to work from home full-time in beautiful Southern California. The kids probably think that work is a piece of cake since I sit at a desk staring at a "tv" all day and occasionally talk on the phone. Compared to many, every day, for me, is a vacation.
