I am guessing that there are a few wondering how things are going with bringing our two newest children home. Well, we hit a snag a few weeks ago...a somewhat big one. I am still pretty discouraged about the whole situation. It kind of was like getting punched in the stomach. We are still hoping that things will work themselves out. We will wait and see what the next little while brings. Sorry for the lack of details and this post being so vague. If or when things work out I will let you know.

Has It Been Two Weeks?!
Ok, here I am.
I fell off the blog grid for a few weeks.
Why?
It's the fight or flight thing.
I chose the flight option.
I have been a
little stressed,
panicked,
and all out
majorly
freaking!!
I get like that before there are changes coming in my life.
I like things smooth,
predictable,
steady.
Change is good
but scary for me.
SO
I have to say I have been pretending nothing is soon going to change.
What is this mumbling all about any way?
Our home study is pretty much finished
which means soon we will be welcoming two new children into our home!
Ah!
I think I feel some major adoption labor pains!
I do not like labor pains even if the end result is good.
The time is near
but I'm very afraid.
Things will be good.
God has lead us down this path.
I read this really good quote that I keep tossing around in my head:
"Those who know their God will display strength and take action"
I know you God.
You are strong.
You have a plan.
I am weak.
I am walking blind.
That is a combination for great things to happen, isn't it?
Yes,it is.
It really is.
" O Lord God," I said, " I can't do that! I'm far too young! I am only a youth!"
" Don't say that," he replied, " for you will go wherever I send you and speak whatever I tell you to. And don't be afraid of the people, for I, the Lord, will be with you and see you through."
Jeremiah 1: 6-8
Ok Lord ,I am poking my hear out of the sand and getting ready to display strength and take action.
My knees are still wanting to buckle but I know you and this is a good thing this path you have me on.

Notice Something?
Notice something?
That cool dude third from the right.
The one in the red?
(l to r) Alan 14, Grant 16, Cyrus, 12, Josiah 14, Nolan 11, Joshua 10
That is him!
That is our Josiah!!!
Our 7th Liberian.
He has been a part of our family for three weeks now
but it is like he was always here.
And
WE LOVE HIM !!!!!!
I can not even begin to express how perfectly he fits into our home.
How much he is loved.
God is very,very good.
God planned this.
God saved a place in our hearts and lives for this young man.
Have you ever heard the saying, "it fits like a glove"?
Well, this young man
Our Josiah,
fits our family like a glove.
Stepping out in faith can be VERY,VERY,VERY scary.
Sometimes when we stepped out in faith it is only BY faith that we could cling to God's goodness and wisdom because it was hard to see those things ourselves.
And sometimes like with Josiah, we stepped out in faith and God's goodness and wisdom became very clear.
