Wonderful things happening

I want to take a moment just to tell everyone a few things that I have learned and still learning and the things I've seen God do in this.
I wanted a puppy or fish in my tank......I kept contemplating having something to be responsible other than myself. And this baby came along....I had no idea that night how this would change my life. I have always been involved in some capacity helping others with shelter, food, clothes etc. Charities involving animals. I never expected to be in charge of bringing together an event like this. Well, personally I believe that God is in charge and the reason I believe that is I've seen His hand in it way before I found her that night.
One of the amazing things is the people put into my path that I chose to befriend, be it Facebook, neighbors, Harley Davidson, people I met in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain who I love. Each of them have stepped forward to help with this cause and I can't be more greatful.
It was brought to my attention that 'April' isn't an unusual case. Many babies become abandoned or removed from their unwed mother's who in most cases (depending on case) do jail time and deported. I will offer a link to a story done by Gulf News recently by Aftab Kazni regarding adoption in UAE.
The amazing thing is that I had the phone number for the Women's and Children's Shelter in my phone for weeks before this happened. Not sure why I saved it really. Seemed like an important number to have. That encouraged me to do something. I had the experience in charity work, the friends, the phone numbers and then the baby all put into my life in this order. I don't believe this is a coincidence.
I hope that everyone can have such blessings in their lives. This has been such a wonderful experience for me and I intend on doing the best I can do to do what it's obvious to me God expects of me. I hope that He works through you to encourage you to make a difference in someone life on any level. It's an amazing feeling.
