Wow


Well finally we are having a DHS appt. most likely in February! We decided to wait until February because our church mission trip will be then. We are blessed to be in leaders of our missions in our church and blessed to be able to make 2009's trip to Haiti. I would have been sad to go to Nigeria instead of Haiti. But please don't get me wrong I can't wait to go to Nigeria it just would have been hard to not go to Haiti and see Naitile.


But it's awesome to do both see Naitile and hook up Three Angels with some awesome people. Be in prayer about the team going to February and that God will lead the right ones to go. Right now there is too many interested but I know that God has a way to adjust that. I also know that people need to be open to His voice.


I am so excited because even though Naitile will not be able to stay the night with me I heard that she may be able to come and swim, eat and etc. It's funny I don't have any idea what size of clothes or what to pack. All ideas and suggestions are appreciated.


In case you were wavering I just want to let you know that God is so awesome and He has your best interest in mind. During the holiday season it's so easy to get caught up in all the events and forget the reason we celebrate. Don't forget to take time to talk to God and also during that time lead your ear because He does talk back if we only listen.


Be Blessed

He is still ...........



I don't what you are facing today but I just want to say that Our God is still there. He is still our savior, the we can count on, the one who always understands, the one who comes quickly to comfort and heal, the one who we can cry our "Daddy" too, and there is nothing greater than Our God.

NOTHING!
I know many of you may be facing things that I don't understand but today I write this in situations that I don't understand either. But I know the answer and that is ...I don't know about how or why that is going on with you but I do know my God!
And even without understanding I can tell you that my God is great and bigger then anything that we don't understand. He will meet you where you are at and wrap His arms around you. He will heals all the wounds that only He is able to see. WOW even after all of that there is so much more to say. Then on top of all the good things to say about Our God then to add that He loves with a everlasting love Wow! If that doesn't make you think about how blessed we are I don't know what will.
Be Blessed today and allow God to come meet you where you are at. Know that it's ok not to know why some things happen and still be able to say that you still know you God.

I don't know about you but I serve a BIG GOD


Ok I just have to get something off my chest. First before I start I do believe in voting and I think that we should pray before we vote and vote for the right person. But I am tired of hearing that we are doomed if we don't get who we are voting for. That's right! strong Christians who always talk about a big God that can do anything unless of course Obama wins and then we are all doomed!!! Well do they not realize that they just made McCain their savior. Wake up call do you really believe that any man will save our country!??!


What about Romans 13:1 "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God."


I believe in a Big God that say what is impossible for Me! A God that has healed me and many others. A God that watches over my child in Haiti and sees me and never mind the fact He sees everybody else too. A God that sent His only son for me so that I could receive His on redemption. And yes I serve a God that is not going to be surprised when whoever it is becomes president.


I am not saying just go out and vote for whoever or that I am not aware of the changes that could happen in each case but just don't put your happiness and future in the hands of a man. There are people around me that are in so much fear and uproar over what man gets in office. Which really allows a man to take the place of God. Only God should be able to make us happy and show us our future. Even if times do get hard the ones that has a true relationship with God will prosper. Maybe not in the ways that the world sees but trust me they will have treasures beyond what the world can give.


Have Faith Put Your Trust In God
Oh by the way we are moving right along with the adoption forms looking forward to a DHS appointment soon

So blessed


Wow I don't post for over a month and now three times in one day. My husband read my blog and while I was at a meeting tonight made this picture. I had to share it with you. It's so awesome to look at for me. So I can officially say that this is our family picture. It will grow and change but for now it's complete and this is a picture from now so it's good.
God is so good He blesses us all in unique ways that speak straight to our soul and changes us from the inside out. If we let Him........ He will do it everyday. You would think that I would let Him after days like today but like many others I let my agenda get in the way of His best.
Thank you God for Naitile and for the blessings that you have for me now. God grant me and the others reading this strength and wisdom to stop and see the blessings that You have given us today. Don't let us look so far ahead that we miss You today. Amen

Oh my look at this pic


Makes my heart warm!

Sweet Dream


I had a very sweet dream last night. I was holding Naitile in my arms and had my hand on her face. When I woke up this morning my hands were in that position. I know I am being a little weird but I feel more in love with her today. I can not wait to have Naitile home.


We had family pictures done at the pictures at the park fundraiser. Which by the way was not as painful as I thought it was going to be (Thanks to Todd). But I hate getting pictures done. Anyway my mother wanted pictures of each of us (me and my two brothers) with our families. So my brother Mark was first with his wife Carrie and my two cute nieces and then my brother Scott was next with his wife Kristi and their two sons. So then she wanted a picture of Jarod and I and something in me was like "no" because we are all not here. Now I will have to admit that part of that was the fact I hate getting my picture taken. But another part of me was I don't want to not have Naitile not in it. So for now lets take our family picture in Haiti and put that on the wall until she can come home...........................................................I would be happy with that.


I pray Naitile knows that she has parents that love her!


So here is our unfinished family photo but soon it will.............Wait actually no it will not be finished because Naitile will be always growing and we are always changing. So really this is our family photo for now but it will not be this way for long!
I think sometimes we get so busy in the future we don't take time to be thankful for the blessings of God now. For example that I have two Parents that are alive to take pictures with and two brothers with families to laugh with. Wow we serve a good God
Take time today to stop and be thankful for the blessings that God has for you today. Trust me they are there.

Please be careful

PLEASE BE CAREFUL I am reminded today to be careful. Please be careful I hear in my head and my spirit. Be careful of how you look at thingsBe careful how you see thingsBe careful how you look at othersBe careful of what you think of othersBe careful of not making room for a "but God" momentLife is too short to read into things and people. I am reminded that the very thing I hate about women is the very thing that slips into my daily actions. I hear the cry "Be careful" echoing in my heart."Watch out" and "Danger" is what the signs would say if we were in a park. Unfortunately life does not have those physical signs to hit us in the head but God and the Holyspirit is crying loud please stop and be careful.Why do we still play high school games in the church and we are all suppose to be grown. Why must we look at others. Why must we constantly have to be worried or at least aware of what others might think........................The question that we must ask ourselves is our way really the only way? Oh I hear the cry please please be careful because as soon as we look at ourselves and grade others by yourself then we are only looking in a mirror and not able to see.Could you imagine driving down a busy road only looking at a mirror at yourself. Wow what a wreck that would but yet I warn and caution you that many are living their lives this way. Awake Listen and Stand on the only truth the holy word of God and Please be careful.___________________________________________________________________I am trying to be careful and trying to listen to God. Most of all I am trying to listen to God and not to the others that are thinking that they see me right! Come on my friends do you really think you know me that well? Do I know you that well where I have you pinned down? Don't mistake God's voice and mine? He is really the only one that knows us!I love you my friends and thank you for all the help and support but please be careful. Trust me the cry is for me too and I am trying to be careful.
