There are many times that I've wanted to sit down at this computer and pour out my heart, share the many medical concerns that our families have been going through, and just be completely transparent to whoever comes across this blog. Someday I will but I haven't felt that it's time to do that yet. I can share with you that when life seems to overtake you that if you are a believer that God will be there. He will walk alongside you when you feel that you can't take one more step, He'll hold you up when all you want to do is fall to the ground in a heap and give up, and He'll whisper those words of hope and truth to you just when you need it. In our times of ultimate need for His love, He will show up. I was listening to this song when I was typing this and it seems to fit so perfectly. Be blessed and comforted today!

A Boatload of Crazy!
Yes I am still alive and kicking but have just had so much going on in my life as of late that I just needed time to sit back and recoup any chance I got! It all started a couple months ago with about a weeks worth of what I thought were horrendous cramps(sorry guys) and one horrible night of very bad back pain. Upon talking to my doctor at a routine checkup about two months later he determined that I had a kidney stone....OH JOY! I did get better within a weekends time so no need for any treatment but now I have the greater possibility of that occurring again. (I am not at all excited). Then we had quite a couple days of an adoption roller coaster with something really great that could have happened but in the end God said that it wasn't meant to be. This actually now that I look back at it am totally at peace with how it all turned out. Very shortly after that our dear 16 year old nephew went into a very unexpected diabetic coma with severe brain swelling and is still in the hospital but improving everyday. Someday when I have more time and energy I will share that big hard and amazing story with you all. Then we hit fall which is crazy birthday time for our family so I had a party for my two youngest on the same day (woohoo one party two kids over all at once). Well, that day ended up being so very crazy with my Dad having a mini-stroke at the party and eventually being taken that night to the hospital an hour away and being there for around 5 days. He has made a very good and quick recovery, thank the Lord! We are working on getting him moved into his condo very soon so we've also been busy picking out paint, flooring, and getting him ready for that move hopefully within a few weeks. What I think is the most significant and what keeps coming to my mind is that Joel and I started working on changing our parameters for our adoption before all of this started. I don't like to give the enemy any kind of credit but I truly believe that these changes have not made him very happy and he so desperately wants to shake us up a bit. Honestly I have been shakin' but not distracted from our goal.....to do God's will in our lives. I am so excited to see what happens once our parameters are approved and added officially to our files! Monday our social worker comes to finish up our updates so we are very close to having this done. Please continue to pray with us that God moves mountains and provides a clear path to our future daughter!
