Fortune, Cactus Flower & Ladybug

I am sure there are a number of you out in blogland that are believers in signs. I have to admit, I believe got a few of them right around my China referral. The night of our referral, Doug and I went to our favorite sushi restaurant to grab a quick bite to eat. This is the actual fortune I got that evening, "You will soon gain something you have always wanted."

About a week before referral, my sunrise cactus started to bloom. Ok, your thinking "so what"? Well, this cactus has not bloomed in probably six or seven years. Nothing, nada. My mom brought it to me full of blooms and a few days later they all fell off and it never bloomed again. The first picture is of the cactus blooming right before referral and the second was taken a few days ago.




And two days before referral, I went to look out the big picture window in my bedroom and saw a lone ladybug sitting on the outside the glass. That was a ladybug siting I will never forget. I snapped a few pictures, but it is kind of hard to tell what you are looking at. But I promise, it is a ladybug.

Well, what do you think? Kind of unusual, right?

I totally believe in signs. The night before we got our LID, I got fortune in a fortune cookie that said "Good News Will Come From Afar" (or something close to it). Love it! We must open our eyes to it.

Love the flower! I think that they are very presious reminders of what was to come, not to mention a wonderful addition to the story you will tell your daughter someday about her coming into your life. Beautiful.

We believe in signs from God. Most days we are too busy to hear our Lord's message but when you do listen (as in during this referral time) there are many signs around us that will guide our lives. We are so excited for you!

I would have to say that I too believe in signs... still waiting for mine though...lol... it is also great that your grandmother is going to be seeing Briana and I agree with you that she may not remember but at least you can remember for her. I did have goosebumps when reading about your signs and about your grandma...
