my, oh my.

So yesterday we adopted a 3 month, 20 day old kitten. She's a beautiful Siamese, cream colored with chocolate accents.

It's funny how God works...now think about it, really. Last week I had called every SPCA and humane society from clearwater to pasco looking for a siamese kitten. Some can cost hundreds of dollars, be we wanted to adopt one who didn't have a home not only because it's cheaper but because of various other reasons. anyways, almost everyday last week I called and of course, it's the typical "I'm sorry, you'll have to keep checking" response. I hadn't let myself get too excited for this very reason.

Jacob knows how bad I've wanted a cat. My whole life, I have LOVED them and grown up with them, and I don't know what it is. Maybe it's their calm demeanor, or their cute little faces! I just find them one of God's wonderful creations that I'm grateful to be able to experience without all the allergic reactions haha.

Anyways, I had mentioned to Jake about going to the SPCA sunday after church just to check, you never know. Once again, I didn't get my hopes up because the more valuable ones are the first to go... Either way we went. As I searched each kennel for a bud of hope I made sure to give each kitten a lookover because they are all just so adorable with their paws reaching out to touch you as you walk by. There are two rooms with two huge kennel chambers in each, as I got to the last kennels in the last room, I walk around to the other side and on the bottom were three kittens one being a beautiful cream colored siamese. I checked its papers to make sure it was a female and voila! She was perfect! We took her in a room to hold her and she was as calm as can be! We noticed her little tail looked as if it had gotten caught in something, oh but it's so cute. We signed the papers and pick her up tomorrow after 4. I am so excited, I can hardly wait. I hate that feeling, your just sitting and waiting for time to pass by. Point of the story being, the Lord found a way, where I thought there was no way. Some may not think thnk this is a big deal, but trust me, it is! Amazing, simply amazing. This just confirms that the Lord answers prayer.

That's really cool! I love how God works, always surprising us when we least expect it.
