Category Archives: Adoption Milestone First–I want to say how much I appreciate the comments left on this morning’s post. How beautiful it is to know there are others out there who are in the SAME EXACT place and the Lord is doing the same things in your hearts…thank you for doing this journey of life with me and for […]  Saturday night…what sweeter way to begin my Sabbath prep than celebrating what is to come with fellow “waiting mommies”… Our Atlanta Ethiopian Adoption group got together…my first time to go…and we met 25 other families at Queen of Sheba for dinner. YUM. Candi (left) is just waiting on her court date to get her baby […] I feel a bond with you- we are awaiting a child from Rwanda and I just moved from blogger to wrodpress- and it is kickin my boohinie! Found your link on Suzanne’s maybe- anyway! I will check back- so exciting! great seeing you last night 🙂 have fun on your little road trip! i LOVE the prayer you wrote about their little feet…how beautiful! Thank you for reminding us to keep this day holy! I absolutely love the pic with the barefeet – I think I may try a shot like this with my little blessings!! Beautiful blog… And what powerful reading today!!! I am amazed today at God’s grace and love that He didn’t leave us to blindly figure it out for ourselves but He clearly gave us boundaries to safely remain in…for our good and for His glory. This is souch more powerful to me to have Him clearly speak after reading Job and tracking through Exodus…40 years in the wilderness…and then He graciously gives us guidance. Each of these commandments are so powerful…and some more difficult to follow. I love that He did not say love no other gods more than me but instead He said love no other gods BUT me. What do I put before Him? What does my daily calendar…how I spend my time say about my priorties? Is God first in my world? Beautiful post Andrea! We just talked about keeping the Sabbath holy at my womens’ bible study on Friday…it’s so good to be reminded that He intended this day to be one of rest and setting our eyes upon Him.  Yay! We have our new numbers! And congrats to Amy S for guessing them right! What a fun little game some of my blog readers just had;)! (Shannon and Caitlin…you two were crackin’ me up!) OK…here are our NEW numbers… For girl we are number… For boy we are number…OK…so start counting the Duggars and […] Hooray ! Getting closer…my bible study women prayed for you on Monday and again an email reminder to lift your adoption in prayer,,,Prayer changes things. Yeaaah ! YAY! Referrals are moving right a long!!! You are getting closer!!! yea!  Ok…you know us adoption folks are always on a roller coaster ride and some days you just don’t know if we’re high or low…or just plain crazy. Ok, so today’s let’s pick crazy;). Got my new numbers. And if you are on the AGCI listserv you are NOT allowed to play (if you are family […] I don’t get to play 🙁 I’ll bite. 31 and 19. Anywhere close???? hey no fair. But new numbers are exciting no matter if they are higher or lower than what you thought! i’m gonna go with 29 and 16. i don’t even know how old you are now, so i hope i’m not offending you. glad you got new numbers. that always is fun. okay, totally bizarre. i feel like i know one of the girls in the chuckee cheese pic. the one in the front isn’t named stephanie by any chance, is she? if not, she has a doppleganger in ohio. 🙂 Oooh, I really want to win this! I love guessing games! Even though I’m not the best at it I’ll have to try because the T-shirt is toooo cute!….boy-#19 and girl-#27. Hi Andrea! I love your blog, your ideas are wonderful! My guess is 30 and 17 – I really have no idea – just a guess! Praying these numbers fall incredibly fast, so you can be with your sweet baby. I’m so anxious to hear your new numbers…so I’m going to play. 28 and 17. 🙂 Not on the listserv yet so I can play! woohoo! Total guess, Here goes: 28 and 16 woohoo, yay for new numbers!! i’m gonna guess.. 27 girl and 18 boy. I’m guessing 29 and 17…This is so fun! OK…no one YET! One of you is KILLER close (off JUST by one!)…and the boy number has been guessed and the girl number guessed…BUT NOT YET ON THE NOSE TOGETHER!…OK…you can guess more than once if you have already…who is gonna WIN?! 29 and 18? Am I lame for guessing again? I love this game and can’t wait to hear the results! Here’s my second guess- 28 and 18. I’ve got a HINT—I am 33 now! (Parker is 5 and Laney is 4!) And someone has gotten both right (the boy more than once!) BUT not on the nose together…oooooook…whose gonna get this ADORABLE T! Keep guessing;)! Anyone? Anyone???? Hee, hee. OK…you can guess more than twice;). Put your thinkin’ caps on…you are close:). And one person has been off just by one! 28 and 18? Can I guess 3 times?:) No wait, I’m going with 28 and 17! Haha! 30, 18? Haha! 30,18? 30, 18? haha! 29, 18? Can I guess again? 30 and 19 Okay, seriously. So sorry! My phone freaked out. or maybe 29 and 19 YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Amy S is the PROUD new owner of this adorable Africa T! Amy, send me your address to andreainga@yahoo.com or on the contact page and it’s comin’ your way!!!! Our new numbers are boy 19 and girl 30! YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Good guessing everyone! And Caitlin’ love that I have a junior in college playin’ so hard on their phone! The Young family loves some Caitlin! Ahhh…what was I thinking? Of course you were older than 28…Parker is obviously not a newborn:) What a fun game and congratulations on the new numbers!! HILARIOUS! Great memories! Look at my bangs. Great game, and I love that shirt! We are currently on the waitlist to adopt a child from Ethiopia through AGCI. Can you tell me what the listserv is? Thanks! Nope. We didn’t get them yet. What a teaser to put that as my header;). I am discovering my lack of patience during our wait. We have our USCIS fingerprint appointment tomorrow at 10am. Pray the results come back before our referral does. But for now…I’d settle for updated numbers…much lower than last month;). And […] oh, hurt me…love that song!!! kj Sorry K! I just want my baby home:). BUT…if I can’t have him/her home…might as well come hang out with you and drive YOU crazy! Can’t wait to see ya!!!! You are killin me. Our wait was 26 months long while we served as foster parents to the twins. That was the song we choose for Sam & Lucy’s adoption video at our celebration brunch after our final court date! What sweet memories you are in store for! still no numbers??? they’ve gotta be coming today! praying you’re a good chunk lower!!! That was a cruel joke 🙂 Maybe I should put “GOT THE CALL” as my header and maybe it will help with this agonizing wait 🙂 I don’t know what is going on but this wait is getting so stinking hard!!! Thinking of you today. Praying you get your FDL in record time 🙂 Nice! You got me all excited! I was talking to Doug Frazier about our new numbers email and those referral last night 🙂 We will be at Kristi’s Monday! I am so excited to get to finally meet you in person 🙂 |
