WHAT A WEEK THIS HAS BEEN !!!

Wow, things can change so fast.....but it's all good !!! GOD IS GOOD!!!

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you! Isaiah 26:3

He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.  Isaiah 40:29

First let me tell you  ( well I can't even tell you really) how  much I LOVE Gods word and the body of Christ!!! It's a lot !!!

So I think within minutes of my last post I got a text from our landlord saying she wanted to come over.

Since the rain had started we had been enjoying rain pouring into our living room and for the week prior to her text had had our living room ceiling ripped open trying to find the leak. Also since we moved  to this house 2 1/2 years ago we have had a ton plumbing/septic problems. (Like first name bases with the plumber ). God has done some crazy stuff through this  ....we got to pray over our landlord and encourage her with scripture.

Well she came by to let us know that she had decided to sell the house ! She was done fixing it all the time. She was very gracious and gave us till mid Feb , but 4 bedrooms are near impossible to find. ( I have looked every time the sewage backed up never seeing a one in our price range) .She also had talked to the property manager and knew there was a 4 bedroom listed with them.

SHOCK AND TEARS SET IN. Moving twice in 4 years and closing up moms house had really left me tired and completely over whelmed at the thought of packing everything up AGAIN. Not to mention pulling off the Christmas Show  and new set, trying to do school with the boys and normal Christmas stuff.

This is where God blows me away! Within minutes of letting people know ...... Friends are  jumping in to help .... They have been here packing and bringing food and praying for us.
I had asked some to pray for my mental state .....half joking but not really. I know without a shadow of a doubt that people are  praying because I told Mark last night that I am actually excited to move. Definitely result of prayer .
So we are moving the week before the Christmas Show.
But really it's just a move. And God is sooooo Good .
He has ALWAYS BLESSED ME WITH AMAZING FRIENDS !!!

How was your week?

Adoption update coming soon!

What are we doing now?

I am just going to dive in ....... You might have received our letters in the mail this weekend and I promised I would update this regularly . I will eventually ( and soon ) go back and give you some more history of how we feel God  lead us to the decision to adopt. But for now I  just want to let you know where we are in the process. We are doing a whole lot of waiting. Currently we have filed our i800 ( extensive background check ) and waiting for approval. A bunch of forms are currently being mailed places for certification and authentication. Once these all come back then we will be able to send our dossier to China .
Please pray for Adams safety and that he would find favor in his orphanage.
Selfishly I would like you to pray that the paper work would move fast but really just pray that we will rest in Gods perfect timing while we wait.
Thanks for joining us in this journey!
XOXO
