Oh my, I know I know

Ok, so I know I don't know what in the world I am doing....and, I know that I don't really have time for a blog. I don't even have time to do laundry and clean the house, and, I know that there isn't a whole lot that I really have to say right now----well, I do have alot to say, but I am not very articulate when saying it. Plus, I swore that I'd never have a blog.....BUT, what I DO know is....that my heart has been touched by a blog or two and that God has used those blogs to further remove some 'scales' from my eyes about orphans and adoption and if there is even a teeny tiny glimmer of hope that our experience could somehow touch someone else's life like mine has been touched, then I know that BLOG, I MUST!! This is the very, very beginning of our sweet leap of faith and I have to say that we are super excited about what God is up to!!  I will try to summarize our journey so far to adoption soon, as we can't wait to share what the Lord is doing in our lives.  This experience is so surreal.  We are officially PAPER PREGNANT!!  Yay, no stretch marks!!

  1. So excited for you all! I am so glad that you started a blog....now we can all journey along with your family and see the Lord's hand in every step of the way. It's another form of journaling what the Lord is doing in your life. Can you imagine looking back and reading these posts after your sweet precious girl is in your arms!!! All praise and glory belong to Him! Love, Jennie

  3. Cliff and I are excited about your journey for this new addition. We are so very blessed to have our many bright and capable grandchildren each of whom bring us daily joy; and it brings more excitement to extend our love to a new addition. Being included in this process has brought us much happiness for your adoption choice. Our children and childrens' children bring more happiness, care, hope, love, and faith in our Lord to us. We are constantly reminded of our gratitude for the accomplishments of parenthood, through Joey and Mandy. We stand with much anticipation as grandparents...waiting with love...
