Another Update!!!

We got a referral for a boy on Monday around noon.  I was out grocery shopping with Thad and the girls and Curt had Gavin at home...  He um got himself in some trouble, so he had to stay home...  ;)

Anyways, my cell rang, but of course at that time, my girls decided to start arguing and fighting and I couldn't get them quiet to pick up the phone.  I noticed the number and thought it was Aimee our contact from AWAA.  Then I get a text from Curt, hurry home, I got news.  So when I was in Giants, I texted back that she had tried to contact me but couldn't pick up, I said it's either a final approval for our girl or they gave us a referral for a boy, or both!  :)

It seems so weird to say approved when talking about our kids!  But it's what it is...  ;)
So we get home, unload the van and he said we got a referral for a boy!  So we sat down, looked at the pics they had of him and all the info about him.  Then we showed the kids and they were SUPER excited!!!  :D

They said that he was dropped off alongside the road at the age of one, they have no official birthday so they gave him the birthday of the day they found him.

He's 5 and deaf. 

I wish I could share more, but I have to keep it at that.  God knows which one he is so please be in prayer that everything goes smoothly and China says yes, we can have him! 

I can't post any pics up here as of yet...  But he's a cute lil dude!!!!  :)

We are still waiting on final approval for our lil girl..

We will also have to be in China for 3 weeks instead 2 like we thought.  But if we get the 2 we said yes we will take, they live in opposite sides of each other.  But trying to get a child in the same orphanage and all would be hard, not impossible because with God ALL things are possible, BUT I truly believe the kids we said yes we will take, will be ours!  :)

I feel like we have 2 feet in the door now and not just one.  Yes, we still need to wait, and I'm seriously patiently waiting.  This will all happen in HIS timing and it will be perfect!

So as I sit and wait, I'm praying that God blesses these 2 little kids.  I seriously can NOT wait to share more info, but can't on here!  Soon enough, we will be a family of 8!  WOW!!!  I'll have 6 kids!!  :D

Only by God's strength and grace!!  Thank you Jesus for all your blessings, the good and the bad!

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...

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 ke...
