Brief Updates~

Quick Update Time:::

We (finally) got the rest of the cash needed to get the ball moving on the home study. Well, the 'official' home study. We do know some things that we needed to do, like get the cats vaccinated and get the kids up to date on their shots as well, documents to make sure we have, etc....so we have been getting that done. There has also been some, OK, a lot, of paper work, to print off and sign as well. Nothing that qualifies as earth shattering.

K had her 12th birthday last week. You can read about that HERE in case you missed it. All day long, I kept thinking, "Hang on, Baby. We're coming." Then I would stare in the mirror and think "You have a twelve year old. Does that make you feel weird?" And then I'd smile and think No way! Sounds perfect!

Adoptions from "L" take 3 trips. The middle trip is one I will have to go alone. It's very short and fairly far off, but I was occasionally worrying about it. Yesterday at our small group, a friend came up and said she felt like she was supposed to tell me that she would go with me if I wanted. Spend her own dime and go with me. Um, YES! Now instead of being nervous, I am excited! I love that God was a few steps ahead of me.

We also have a few fundraising projects in the works. The first one is a Yard Sale this weekend. If you are in the area and have anything to donate, please let me know and I will get with you about picking it up. If you are not in the area, please pray for us this weekend...heavy shopping traffic and good weather will be needed/appreciated!

We are also working on a Chick Fil A spirit night, and our church is having a Spring Market that we will have a booth at. As those fall together, I will post details.

We have a lot going on to keep us busy and lists so that we can see the progress being made. We are praying that K will be patient and not grow hopeless with all the waiting. Really, that's all she has is our word that we are coming and then she waits. And Waits. I know it's very tough on her.

Hang on, K. We ARE coming.

Birthday Thoughts

Today, 12 years ago, a little bald baby was born in a country I never even heard of until about 4 years ago.



We were meant for each other, although we did not know it yet.



She has been through so much for a single soul to endure

 

God has definately had His hand on her.



We wish we could be with her today, but our thoughts and prayers and certainly with her.


We love you, K! Happy birthday!
