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!  :)

Whew...

written 4-7-18 Wow! It's been a while since I"ve blogged...  Crazy fun times around here!  :) We had a BIG EVENT for our church Friday night.  It was awesome!!!  All about where we are and what we need to finance our new church building we are building!  We were to take a card and pray about a number and donate for the building fund.  It was a FANTASTIC awesome night to say the least!!! Curt and I have been praying about a number that God wants us to give.  We both feel a number, we can't afford.  haha...  We really can't afford anything because we still have 2 adoption credit card bills we are paying off.  God has blessed us and given us what we need each month.  But we want to give, and adding it up and looking at our budget and writing it all out, it's not there.  Nothing is there!  But that's the way it was with adoption!  We took that step of faith! So that was Friday...  Saturday morning went to kettle bell class and I died...  I honestly haven&#

Ultrasound

First of all, thank you ladies for all those sweet comments you made on my last post! How sweet you are for saying those things! Made my day!!! :O) Second, went for the ultrasound on Monday and everything is fine! WHOO HOO!!!!! No more placenta previa!!!! The baby weighs about 2 1/2 lbs, and everything looks good! We took the kids with us so they could see their baby brother/sister, they LOVED it!! Gavin was FULL of questions though! What's that stuff she put on mommy's belly? Why do the lights needs to be off? I only see one eye. Where's the other eye? What was that, is that his hand or leg? Oh my.... ;o) The tech ended up putting up a 4D on the screen, so that was really cool to see! The cord was kinda in the way, but I still think it was awesome! I didn't have that with any of the other kids!!! :O) Maybe the trick is taking 3 other siblings in to see the 4th!!! ;o) I also only gained a pound, which I am trying to figure out, seeings how I pretty m

Grandma

Grandma passed away this morning at 1:35 am. She had been totally un-responsive for the past couple of days. Yesterday we got a call and said she only had an hour, they said they made the mistake and grandma heard them, so she kept hanging on! Her feet had been cold and almost black, but they were starting to get warm and she was taking more breaths, but still very shallow. Finally she gave in and went home! The family seems to be doing ok, just please keep them in your prayers! The viewing will be Sunday and the funeral on Monday. I am not sure of the times yet, they are meeting with the funeral director in an hour. I am not going to be at the musical practice Monday nite, so Sandy May and Jena R are in charge that nite! I will have the lines assigned so the kids will know what their parts will be! Please help them out this week!!!! Thank you!!!! Thanks again for all of your prayers!!!!
