Sisters

When we were presented with the opportunity to adopt Selah a short one and a half years after we had brought home Anna, we wondered how our family dynamic would change. We knew it was going to be a challenge to add another child to the mix of our already full house. But whether it was because God had already put a name in our hearts way back in 2006 or whether we just felt peace about it, I remember Aaron saying something like..."When an opportunity like this comes our way, we just have to go for it.". And so we did..... And it has been one of the greatest decisions we have made. These Girls are inseparable. They play together, they laugh together, they share a room together, they take care of each other, they fight with each other :), and they are best friends. It has not been without its challenges, (remember China? ) But each would not be the same without the other...Sisters for life. Thank you God for these girls.

Much has happened...

It's been exactly one week since we were given our bad news about not being able to adopt the girls from Indonesia. God has really comforted us alot during the past week... I still have a hard time not crying when someone asks me when we can go get the girls.... In my excitement, I showed so many people at church and friends the pictures of the girls because in my heart, I really felt these girls were ours. But, God is not done writing our story ~ I know that this will have a Godly outcome and we will move forward. We have had lots of support and encouragement ~ most people we know well have expressed their sadness over this. I returned the bedding I bought for the girls at the store and when I did, I was sorta in a sad mood.... the person handling the returns said "Are these not going to work out?" to which, I replied "No, it's not" and then she felt like she had to push the issue with me and said "Is there anything wrong with it?" By then, I...

Another GREAT verse about God watching over our little ones....

Isaiah 49: 15-18 (Message) Can a mother forget the infant at her breast, walk away from the baby she bore? But even if mothers forget, I'd never forget you—never . Look, I've written your names on the backs of my hands. I have been thinking alot about the birthmothers of our children... This verse is not meant as a slam on the birthmothers of our children... it is meant for glorifying God in how much He knows every child by name and NEVER forgets them. My little brain cannot even comprehend how MUCH He loves each of us and how much He loves each of our children.... not only that, He loves each one of these precious birthmothers who will undoubtedly do the most difficult thing in their life sometime very soon. Lord, I pray for the birthmother of my child(ren) right now. Lord, you KNOW them. Touch them. How difficult their circumstances must be to try to "forget" the child they bore. I know that as a mother, I could never forget the children I bore and I k...
