Good Things

I think sometimes we can get far too caught up in what is going on in our lives. I am praying that the Lord will help me focus on the good things... people who are a blessing in my life, a God who loves us unconditionally, flowers growing, visitors, sunny days, etc...

We have had an eventful and great week. Our dear friends, Parker, his wife Anna and their two children, Cora and Mia were here visiting. Parker used to live with us way back when and we love him like family. Now that he has a family of his own, we love them just as much. We had so much fun with the kids and just hanging out. After having the kids in our home, we are even more excited about having our own Mazey. We love you guys. Jesus bless you as you continue your journey to your new home.

We had our first home study interview Thursday. We both felt it went really well. We got along with our social worker very well and the two hours flew by. It was actually fun and felt like we were just having a long visit with a new friend. Our next appointment is in a few weeks from now. We have a few assignments to get done before then, most of which I have done already but there are a few appointments we have to wait on.

We completed another module in our training materials today. We both still have to take the test but that won't be too bad. We have one more module and we'll be done with that step as well.

Sometimes the road to adoption can feel like you are all alone but I have felt so much peace about it lately and know that you all are praying for us. So thank you for your prayers, love and support. We both appreciate it more that you know.

Have a blessed weekend!

Glad you had such a great weekend with friends and that your appointment went so well and that you have such a peace and excitement. I know that feeling of feeling alone on this journey.

Jesus Bless you!

Parker said that too but actually your room is now the office. Neither one of you ever lived in the middle room. You'll just have to sleep under the desk when you come now. : )
