Prayers please...
Without going into detail, we ask that you cover us in prayer. God is doing big things right now and we have committed to the journey and are along for the ride. But these big things are somewhat scary as it's a road we haven't traveled before. But we know that He is by our side. I hope we can share more details soon. But for now, please know we need your prayers!

Adoption Update
Several have asked where we stand with this journey. Well, there are moments we feel like we are standing still. And other moments when I feel like my head is spinning. We have consistently had a situation in front of us for a year now. We have prayed for each mother and child and while we haven't been the right family yet, we have watched miracles happen over and over again.
We do not know where this path will lead. But we know beyond a shadow of doubt that we are doing what God asked us to do. In September we prayed about our homestudy...it would need to be renewed if we continued. That meant more clearances, more physicals, and more money. We decided to give it one more year and pray that God would either throw the door wide open or slam it shut. This is His journey after all...and we are happily along for the ride. As with most adoption journey's...we have had a million roadblocks in front of us this past year. Financially, it's been a tough year.
That's the way satin works! He tries to put doubt in front of you! Emotionally, it's been a tough year. There are so many times my anxiety level has been through the roof...and that is so far from my personality. Would you pray with us that this journey will be glorified? That this path will shine from beginning to end. We have no clue what God has in store for us. What I do know...is that we have been blessed time and time again because of this journey.
We have had so many opportunities to lift families and mothers and children in prayer. We have had the opportunity to love on families considering adoption and listen to their hearts and be a shoulder to cry on. I truly feel like God has given me a platform and a passion and I thank Him every single day for bring adoption into my life. Ya'll...God is good! Satin tries his best to still our joy, and there are many times that he has succeed. But MY GOD IS BIGGER and He has proven it time and time again!!!!!
*Several weeks ago, we were asked by a few people if we would be doing another tshirt fundraiser as we did this time last year when we did our homestudy. It's something that we had considered and after being encouraged by friends to do so...we jumped in again. So, here it is. The first order has already been delivered and ya'll...these shirts are great! I thank each of you who supports our family and supports adoption. We love ya'll more than you know!
