Oh my word....I have been so swamped with synthesis papers and projects and presentations and exams, and I'm only half way through the semester! Lord help me get through this!!! On a good note...I GRADUATE IN JUNE YIPEEEEEE :) I'll be so glad to get that behind me...haha then I'll be right back in for grad school...at least I see the light now- it may be dim and distant but I see it!
Andrew and I have been having some major discussions the past few weeks about something that is pretty important to us, something we had planned to do at some point in our lives but we thought it would happen later in life...like way later. I've learned though, that when God lays something on your heart; tells you to do something, you don't ask questions or doubt it. You just do it. So we are. We are planning to adopt. We've contacted DSS and got in touch with a Social Worker and I've been talking to a great friend who has already been through the process(such a blessing). We called and we have to take a class before we can do anything and the next class isn't until the end of February. It's definitely going to be a long process and with school and work we don't know exactly how everything is going to work out, but when God draws you a road map you don't question the destination. I read someone's status today on facebook it said "God doesn't call the equipped - He equips those He calls". This is so true, and we are going to trust God and leave it all up to him. I don't know how everything is going to work out but my God does and I trust that He will show us the way. We are so excited about it. I've always wanted to adopt, I just can't wait to get everything going! We really can't do too much until the class so I'm just going to have to be patient. Many have asked about biological kids. We still want to have our own children and if perhaps we get pregnant before we can get into the actual process, we are still going to go through with it.
We got to babysit Olivia today :) it was so much fun! She is a pleasant little booger! J brought her over real early because they both had to work. She went right back to sleep, when we woke back up, while I was getting ready Andrew was playing with her on the bed. Andrew was so cute, he was talking and playing with her, and she was talking up a storm to him. It made me miss Paisly like crazy, knowing we would have gotten to do that with her every day if she were still here, but I know she is happy and safe in heaven. None the less I love spending time with livi bug, and I hope we get to do it again soon!
Keep praying for us, that we continue to follow God's path for us, and that he will give us patience in the long road ahead!
