Well Nathan has been bugging me and telling me my blog is a cold and lonely place! Goodness so much life has happened since my last post. So I will give you all just a small recap of what has been happening.
First back in Nov. 2007 we received our first placement a little four month old baby girl named Gabby. She was such a doll. We had her for 4 short days :(
Then in Jan. 2008 we received a little girl 2 and half years old and a little boy 1 and a half. Their initials are V (girl) and J(boy). V just had a birthday last week and J has one coming in June. They are very cute, but alot of work. I wish I could say its been a picnic but truth is its been quite a ride! The real blessing is that we are sharing the gospel and its been amazing how far they have come. I dont want to go into details but they are not the same little ones we received back in Jan. they have grown so much. V loves the Lord and has a understanding that I find amazing. J loves to pray too and sing hymns with me and pray.
Our house hold has not been the same since their arrival and they keep me very busy! Hence no blogging as of late. We are also licensed for another baby and we have submitted a request to receive a adoptable baby girl. Sooooo if you are led please pray for us. It looks like we could have V and J for another year or so. I know it will be hard to see them go but we just dont know Gods plan for them right now. Right when you think a case is going one way you get a quick curve thrown in there and the case goes in a different direction.
News on the home front... We are being hit really hard with the gas prices, food going up, and me running into town to take care of my parents. We have decided to put the house up for sale and try to move closer in, but not to much as housing is even more expensive the closer you get to Phx. I also would like to try and keep our chickens geese and duck.
Still God is good and meets and goes beyond all our needs! God continues to heal my mom who had a stroke back in Oct. my dad has been holding his own and that is a great blessing from God since my mom has been down, so hard if both were down at the same time.
All the kiddos are doing great and growing so fast. They have grown in compassion, selflessness, and knowledge of God and His truth. I thought our house was full of noise but since adding V and J we really know what noise is all about! It has gotten better but when we first received them they screamed for every need whether for a drink, food, or toy it was so crazy.
We have been enjoying great weather and making as many trips to the zoo as we can before we hit those wonderful triple digits! I will t ry and get some pics up soon, with Nathans help;)
Well I dont want this to get to lengthy so until I get another moment to reflect (with encouragement from Nathan) I will end for now. May each of you walk in the light of Jesus and His truth! Blessings.
God Bless,
Debbie
