Adoption Update

Well we thought we were waiting on AWAA, but turns out, they were waiting on US!  :\  We sent an email to them after the holiday's to see what was going on.  Turns out, we needed to fill out 2 more forms, but we didn't know that!

So we filled them out and the one is $890 due when we send in the form.

We were REALLY hoping to be able to send that in RIGHT away, but we had to have a plumber come out and fix our upstairs toilet...  So that took some money... 

Trusting God in this, we have something that needs fixed on van before February so we can get the emissions test done.  We failed the first one..  haha, go figure!  It's all the SERVICE ENGINE light that caused it, but it could be up $300-$600 to get it fixed. 

We have just over $8,000 in our Life Song Fund.  If you feel led to donate, you still can.  As long as we have adoption bills that need to be paid, that fund will be open to us as long as there is money in there!  So as of right now, with the matching part, we have just over $16,000 that is for us to use! 

We won't be able to use that money for the $890 that's due because Life Song sends the check right to AWAA, and we HAVE to have the money WITH the form when we send it in.

Again, I'm not worried, I know God will provide!  It may be tight, or last minute, but I know it's all in His hands.  This has been from the beginning and I know with out a doubt that He still has it all in His hands!  :)

Thank you for your prayers and support through this!  We have felt your prayers and REALLY appreciate all the support from our friends and family!  <3

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...
