Lovely Day

Today was lovely. We had warm rains all day and I watched my kids get older before my eyes. When I play and role with the kids I often dream of what it will be like when we adopt and it makes me smile and sometimes cry tears of joy. Instead of often looking to the future I am trying so hard to embrace every moment through mountain peaks and valleys. This evening we had the intern wives bible study and it was wonderful and convicting. we are studying Titus 2:3-5 and it so humbles me in every way. I am so thankful for all of these women, oh how God has blessed me and I am so thankful. I added some photos from the day.

Marya and Ezra.. and Ezra is a tad hungry.. so he thought he'd eat her cheek. He remains hungry for the majority of most days.

Trying a new thing!!

Hello all!!! Jake has been trying to get me to do this since we moved here but I didn't know how or what it was really about. Just lately two of my friends have started to blog and I read theirs all the time and just love it. I feel like I am a part of their life, AWESOME!!!! So, I am going to try it out.
Here is my first update on the adoption. We are now trying to adopt two children. One will be older and the other with be an infant. Just writing that makes me want to scream I am so excited. Our home study had a couple of hold ups so we are now a couple of months behind. I have no time line but it looks like it will take at least 6 more months but probably more with the hold up and all. God is always teaching us to trust. Prov. 3:5-6. Please pray for us to accept God's perfect timing with joy and peace. I love you all!!
