So excited for Friday! My hubs and I are leaving the baby for the first time and going on an overnighter. My plan is to take him to sprinkles and celebrate Zeke! Praying for a memory filled week.

Thank You! My husband and I are currently waiting for a call from our expectant mom to tell us to make our way down to ATL this week for the birth of our son. We are dying for the phone to ring. So thank you for reminding us about God’s perfect timing:)

Trusting God in the Unknowns {this is faith…and faith–is…HARD}

I walked in this morning with a lump in my throat. And I walked out with it still there. This has been the preschool I walked Parker into at just 18 months old–certain that he just *had* to get in this preschool. And after he did–that first day…I sat in the parking lot–and cried. I […]

I so understand. We had a two week window to move and it just so happened to fall as my daughter and I were leaving for a mission trip to Africa and hubby was wrapping up his school year as a teacher. Prayers for you during this time 🙂

Moving and being in limbo about moving is so very difficult – we have been there all too many times.
My immediate thought for you was – what a blessing this is coming now as you are finishing an adoption and not right in the middle when you might have had to redo your homestudy and paperwork or stop your adoption. God’s timing has a way of being amazing and I’m sure it will be this time as well. Just trust Him even when it seems like logistically there’s no way things can work out. It may be hard but He will get you through and I bet something amazing is waiting for you at the end of this particular journey.

Tears are rolling down my face. SO timely for my heart. I literally was just praying for peace and crying to God about the timing of bringing home our little boy. He is waiting for us in The Congo! Thank you for sharing this.

Congrats!!! How exciting to know you’re getting so close 🙂

Maureen - April 27, 2013 - 12:41 am

So excited for you! He is adorable!

And about those meals…

When you bring home your 5th most will stay away, because they are sure that what you have is catching! But your true friends will still come bearing meals and other goodies!

When you bring home your 6th & 7th (Yes, twins!) Everyone comes because they can’t resist sweet baby twins! Oh and they call in pizza for you because now you have sooo many mouths to feed!

It’s all good! I’m in Kansas so I’ll call the pizza in for you!

OH!! Isn’t he the most precious, adorable little guy! I loved hearing all of his “Mama’s” there so excitedly talking to him! I think they are so happy that he is being adopted,
