The Waiting Game

Wow, Happy New Year!  :)

I haven't posted in a while and I'm sorry...  Life gets really busy sometimes!  ;)

Well, the title pretty much says it all right now...  we are in the waiting game.  Some of our paperwork is in China getting translated...  :)  I'm thinking we may email just to see the status of it, is all of our paperwork there yet or not?  :)  Once they get it all translated, they will let AWAA know and then they will start sending us referrals of kids.

Then, the hard part comes, picking out or children!

Ok, saying "picking out our children" is really kinda weird to me!  Not the our children, but the whole picking them out...  How does one do that?  I know without a doubt that God will give us peace about them, but it just sounds kinda weird to me still!  :)

Once that happens we get approved, with yes, they are yours, then we get a travel date and then we are off!  :)

I want to say we are kinda on the down side of the slide, but not totally!  Just the whole waiting part...  Maybe i'll say it AFTER we get the referrals!  :)

For the Life Song Adoption Fund, WOW!!!  Got our socks blown off!  If you still want to donate you can, we had to set an date, but really, as long as we need the money and our kiddos aren't home yet, that fund is still open to us!  We have just over $7,000.00 as of Tuesday of last week!!!!  God has just been so good!  I mean, He's good all the time, but the blessings just keep coming!

I'm not sure just how much more my heart can take, seriously!!!!

We had someone drop off a DS on our front porch Christmas Eve for all the kids, it was used, but I don't care, just the generous gift, wow!!!  I'm blown away!  :)

Then we had 2 families just give the kids gifts, because they love us and they know we are tight with money due to the adoption!  I'm not gonna lie, y'all made their Christmas!  You went above and beyond and I'm just in totally awe and SPEECHLESS!!!!!  Thank you just does not seem adequate or even good enough!

Please keep us in your prayers as we play this waiting game..  ;)  I know God's got this and TOTALLY trust Him!

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!!!!
