Wow...



Today as I was scrolling through the internet I discovered that our agency referred children to 87% of their waiting families.  Now I'm not sure if that means we are in the top 13%, or if we are still not included in that because we have yet to pay our first fee.  But the way it sounds we ARE included in the top 13%!  Our MCC is dated 3-23-15 and they were referring families from Feb 2015!  So we may be seeing a picture of our new little one next month!  Jumping-up-and-down-doing-a-flip-super-yay!  This process has been going SO fast that I feel like I am on a roller coaster sometimes.  But hey, I'll take the fast track over a snail's pace any day!!!

Today I also discovered a blog I would like to follow.  It was as if God spoke to me right off the page.  She even mentioned the name "Dave Ramsey".  And if you know me, I am a BIG Ramsey fan!  Actually we are currently going through his Financial Peace University right now!  Its kind of crazy to be paying off all debt just to get into a whole lot more for adoption.  But I didn't make the plan, God did.  And what He leads you to, He leads you through, He will provide for you!  I live by that.  And I live by faith.  People probably think I'm crazy.  I think I'm crazy about this too.  But I know I will be the one blessed!!!  Break my heart for what breaks yours God.  I'm ALL in!!!

Here we go...



Well after praying for four years, and giving birth to another baby, we are adopting again!  This time not from Ethiopia, but CHINA!!!  I have been fearful this time.  I have been the one dragging my feet.  Until today.  I came across the Bible verse, Isaiah 41:10:  Fear not for I am always with you.  After I read that I sat down and finished 75% of the paperwork for my homestudy!  I am still in shock that we are doing this again, but I know God has a child that He knows is ours.  I am trusting him with my life, so I will trust Him with this.  He's got this!!!

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord.  ~  Jeremiah 17:7
