Monkey Costume & Pumpkins

I drove 40 minutes away to buy a $10.00 monkey costume off of Craig's List. The woman thought I was a little crazy for doing so, but I explained that we are a foster family and our little guy wants to be a monkey for Halloween. Since Old Navy doesn't seem to be selling Halloween costumes this year, I had to resort to Craig's List because that was the costume I wanted for him:). 

As I was driving (by myself in the car...it was quite nice), I took some time to reflect on how amazing it is that I have the chance to buy him this costume. It was just months ago that I was grappling with the fact that I might never see him again and struggling with how his story in our family just seemed incomplete.... 

God amazes me again and again. While I have no idea how or when we will be saying goodbye, I KNOW for certain that God has already and will continue to be faithful to bring glory to himself through this.  

Here are some pictures from pumpkin carving today!
