There is no coincidence

"Chance, luck, and coincidence just don't exist in this world."
On Friday we went off to a nice weekend in Crestline to getaway and see the Gatons (the family that let us stay in their 2nd house before the birth). After walking around Lake Gregory we went into the local grocery store to pick up a few items and walking the other way down the isle was Tim Comfort (Patrick's biological father) and 2 of the his kids. I had decided that if God wanted us to meet He would make it happen. Come to find out both the Turner's and the Comfort's were waiting for the other one to call and of course no one did. We agreed at that time to get together later that afternoon at a park in Lake Gregory. We had a wonderful time together and enjoyed the fellowship as can be seen from the pictures. We are planning to find another to hang out before the summer is over and they move back east in the fall. The reality is that this is not the typical adoption story that is broadcast on the news, written about in books or told over a lattee at the local starbucks. For that I am thankful and in awe of God's sovereignity in the entire process.

Thanks for reading
