Adoption Update!!!

Well, I was TRYING to do better at keeping this updated, but days are busy around here!  NOT complaining though!!!  ;)

I just wanted to share some REALLY cool exciting news with y'all!!!

Sunday Curt had to be at church early due to playing in the band, so the kids and I came later...  I got there and we went to the sanctuary to find Curt to say hi before I had to take the kids to their classrooms.  We walked in and someone found me and gave me a check for her flower bulbs that she ordered.  Then Curt just looked at me with this weird look on his face.  More like shock and disbelief.  He was talking to someone and he reached into his pocket and pulled out a check.  I said oh great, another flow---  before I could finish the sentence he just shook his head no.  I was like oh, ok...  Wondering what's going on.  But by the look on his face, i kinda knew!  ;)

I opened the check and I'm sure my eyes fell out of their sockets, but then I popped them back in and started getting all teary eyed!

Someone gave us $1,000!  That was pretty much what we needed to send in for one chunk, we still need another $6,000, but the first was this $1,000 to get the paperwork started and get it done a bit faster!  We were a bit shy of it from us trying to save every little penny, knowing the kids needed jeans AND 3 of them needed new tennis shoes.  But I kept holding it off saying and praying, trusting and knowing that God would provide!  I didn't know when, but I didn't worry about it!

Boy did He EVER COME THROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm still in awe of just how AWESOME our God is!  I've not doubted Him one bit through this, knowing that us adopting it TOTALLY in HIS will, trusting Him that He will give us and provide what we need, RIGHT when we need it!

They told us we could wait another week and a half to send in the check, but the sooner, the better!  :)

We are almost done with our dossier as well!!!  We just need a few more things and that will be complete!

I'm kinda in shock at how fast some of this has come about, but yet, I'm not.  ANYTHING is possible with God, we just have to stand back and let Him do His work!  Trust Him completely!

Well, that's our exciting news for the week for adoption stuff!  :)

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Judah's Wife Book Review

I received this book from Bethany House for free if I agreed to read and then blog about it. Judah's Wife is by Angela Hunt. I've read a few of her books and absolutely enjoyed and loved them!  I was very excited to be picked to read this book! I've honestly not read anything from the books of Maccabees.  This story is the "silent years' between Malachi and Matthew. I really would like find Maccabees now to read it since I've read this book. This book was amazing! Love being able to read stories that really capture what it was like.  Angela Hunt has done this in this book. I really enjoyed how she told it from Judah's side and Leahs side.  It would go back and forth, but it wasn't confusing at all. Talks about Leahs up-bringing and how she struggled. Her father wasn't a real father figure and in time she realizes how much her mother protected her from her father and his blows. She struggles to truly love Judah at first who was somewhat fo...

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...
