But God.....

I can't believe that it is February, time is flying!  We are still working on our paperwork but getting closer by the day. I don't believe there are too many more steps in this portion but I could be OH SO wrong :-)  We will be attending the "Empower to Connect" Conference this weekend in Orlando.  Show Hope is hosting this conference and we look forward to gleaning as much information as we can and learning from others who have walked in our shoes.  

As we trust the Lord and walk in obedience to what God has called us to do... He continues to surprise us and overwhelm us with His plan for our lives.  A week ago, the Lord brought a little 11 month old boy into our lives and in that short week, He has taken us from a family of 6 to a family of 7.  Lord willing, he will be placed in our home in a few weeks.  This does not negate our China adoption... this is a little bonus as we wait.  We didn't intend on adopting more than one but as we all know...as we walk along the path and make our plans, there are times when we hear.. BUT GOD!  Then everything changes!  So.... walk with us as we tackle the domestic system and the international system at the same time -- should be fun.  I just pray I don't send the wrong papers to the wrong agency :-)  Oh boy.... as we say -- "strap it on.. its gonna be a WILD ride" -- 

We would covet your prayers for this little guy whose life is about to change forever!  Pray that God would knit his heart with ours and the transition would be easy for him.  We already feel that he is meant to be with us... knowing that we have some tough weeks + ahead of us!

LOVE TO ALL!!!
