Do you know what "hallelu Yah" means?

Hallelu Yah! Hallelu Yah! Hallelu Yah! Hallelu, hallelu, u, u, Yah! Yes, it's as if Jason Castro were singing it... that's why I've added the extra "u"s. Anyways...

Hallelu Yah! Ever since Rob and I switched our adoption from Albania to Ethiopia, we thought that the $4,500 that we had paid into our Albanian country fee was gone. We quickly got over it, looking at it as though it were a humanitarian contribution. But, the fact was that we needed to pay more than that amount again, but this time to Ethiopia. I began praying for $4,000. It was a lot, but I prayed. God is the God of so many miracles. Why not this one?

Today Rob spoke with our social worker. It turns out that the $4,500 from Albania was just transferred to our Ethiopian account! All of it! We had not expected any of it. God gave us $500 more than I had even dared to ask for! Hallelu Yah!

"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord..." (James 1:6-7).
