GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!! Part 3: the new additions!

After the girls daycare was covered ( did we tell you that God is Good!), our next issue was cleaning out our junk room to fit enough beds for 3 girls. For those of you that know anything about that junk room, it was lovingly named "the tornado room" by my friend Candi.

We had a queen bed frame in the garage, so we were thinking add a mattress to the queen bed and find a twin bed. But you know God had a "bigger" plan. It's just amazing how God came thru..yet again.

A. A friend at work offered her old mattress for the queen bed since they had just had to get a new one for their bed. (thanks Becky!)
B. Another friend at work offered to let us use her daughters old twin bed. (thanks Karen!)

So off to a start. Plans were to pick the beds up over the weekend and have them set up and ready...we wouldnt know if the girls were coming until Monday and if they were, they would be there tuesday so no time except the present.

Only problem...David realized Saturday afternoon that the queen bed we already had was TOO BIG for that room...and no way would a twin go in there too! As he was sitting in the hallway with a string for him and Riley to use to measure, he realized that Rileys baby Bed that was in the room would actually turn into a toddler bed. One down..2 to go.

Sunday morning in our life group (Sunday school) class, we announced a prayer request for the girls and made an announcement that we were going to look for twin beds that day to set them up. One of the ladies from our class called after church and told us that she had gone yard selling sat morning and had found a set of beds with mattresses for such a good deal she couldn't pass them up even though her 2 boys weren't old enough for them yet. Not only did she offer to let us use the beds for as long as the girls were here, she and husband came to the house and helped David set them up in the room! She had no idea that purchase was a divine intervention and would help in GOD'S plan to get the girls. (thanks francis and terri!)

On Monday afternoon at 4:45, I found out we were to get the girls after 8:30 Tuesday morning!!!

And so the real journey begins....
