Be careful of nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 KJV
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:14
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
These are 3 of the verses that I have been focusing on since this past weekend. I hadn't really had too much time to dwell on the adoption process during the month of June due to so many things happening. But this past weekend it hit full force. We are still in the waiting process and I am struggling to remain calm about the results. We are so close to the final approval that I feel I can't breathe when I think about it. I get so excited about the prospect of actually being able to meet the children that we would like to adopt that I have a hard time thinking about anything else. So, I need to stop and repeat these verses and trust the Lord and take care of what HE has already blessed me with in the meantime. It is ALL IN HIS HANDS!!!

We are a Southern Baptist, military, homeschooling family that does our best to live in a way that glorifies our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We believe that God has given us as parents the responsibility to raise our children for Him and to teach them His ways. This blog is a journal of our journey through homeschooling and our lives as Christians in a very unchristian world.

I am JAD's Mama and I have been married to the best husband I could have ever imagined for over 9 years. We have been blessed with 3 wonderful blessings and they each have their own special place in our lives. ('Lil Buddy was born on Mother's Day 2000 , 'Lil Princess was the first girl in over 2 generations on her daddy's side and 'Lil Angel was born on my birthday in 2005).

Our 'Lil Buddy' is 8 years old and will be in the 3rd grade. He is a delightful little fellow who enjoys making others laugh and he also enjoys helping others out. He is a very inquisitive child with a great desire for learning.

Our 'Lil Princess' is 5 years old and will be in Kindergarten. She is a sweetheart who loves to snuggle, give hugs and kisses and is always thoughtful. She loves to help out wherever she can and her compassion for people is amazing!

Our 'Lil Angel' is 3 years old and while she is "angelic" for the most part she tends to have a very stubborn streak. She takes nothing from nobody!!! She loves to play, giggle, give hugs and kisses and likes to play with puzzles.
