My Media Fast & update...

Hubby, me and our teen attend a Sunday evening Bible study called "Equip" and we were challenged this week to give up Media for 48 hours. I failed! I would love to blame it on the fact that we are adopting and that I have to check email to see if our agency is writing us...and while that is true...I still failed! Oh well. God has lots of time to work on me.
On the adoption front...We did get news this morning! Which I am happy to write about here. Its not HUGE news, but its good news. Our babies are being moved into our adoption agencies "foster home." Its a transition home. This will be their home till they come live with us. Although its pricey, I don't care b/c we will get weekly updates on them. Nor do I have a choice. The orphanage they came from requires they be moved to the transition home once they are matched with a family, so they came make room for more kids. It makes sense. Plus they will get around the clock medical care if needed. *sigh* a relief to this momma.
Please understand that while a lot of family and friends read this blog to hear about our journey. We won't be able to post much about the updates. Its our agency and our hearts intent to protect our children, and legally they are not ours yet. Thanks for your understanding. Please keep praying for us. Its a beautiful journey, but its also an intense emotional one.
On the financial front...we still have approx $5-6,000.00 left to raise! (although this figure is a moving target if something else comes up that we don't know about) We have come so far!!!! Those figures will cover all the expenses of the last trip. Wow...God is so good. If you feel led to help with that expense please contact me or click on the chipin link on the left.
Thanks; God Bless!!!!

Just keep swimming...

while we wait. That is what I tell myself. Just keep swimming. Cause there is nothing else I can do except live day to day and pray.

Satan Attempts

"God is proud of us for fighting overwhelming human emotions to do his will. He isn't interested in our stellar performance, but in our hearts. He loves our willingness & obedience despite our insecurities." -unknown

Yesterday I had one of those days. One of those days I hope most adoptee moms have. Insecurities set in. Lots of "What ifs" creep into the imagination and take up too much brain energy. I found myself clinging to my husband wanting him to answer all those scary questions...I wanted him to have all the right comfortable answers.

My husband is solid. He did have the right answer. He reassured me that this is God's will. God brought us to this, he will bring us through it. He will give us the energy and the know how to do what needs to be done...when that day comes. He reminded me to live one day at a time and keep my focus on God...our rock. Not on the concerns of what may or may not happen six months from now, but TODAY.

I reached out to another adoptee mom, and she reassured me that she too has felt these emotions. Together we agreed that satan doesn't like what we are doing for the Lord. So he uses our emotions to discourage us. He creates fear, insecurities and what ifs.

Today...I am grounded again. I'm positive, focused and prayful about what God has in store for our family. I'm excited to be on this journey.
