"Patiently Waiting"



I know it may seem long and draw out, and it is. But everything in Gods timing. Some days I feel as if I am getting nothing done and others...tons.  

What has been going on....well working on lining up some fundraisers.  We have a online fundraiser called flip give that is running continuously.  We also currently have an on-line Jamberry fundraiser going on that the consultant is giving her full commission to the adoption. Check it out on facebook. Harmony had one craft and bake sale that was awesome.


People are donating items for thrift sales and helping with baking and offering to do fundraisers it is overwhelming how generous people are.

On another note we are waiting on getting our homestudy done.  We need a little more money to get that accomplished.

Yesterday while working on sending out some letters I was reading all the notes from those that supported us with Ales adoption and came across this envelope with money in it.  Wow thank you Lord for all these encouraging words and the gift of money from a few years ago. It made me realize all things in Gods timing.

We will be serving a lunch this weekend for an auction in Jump River, come by and visit us.

It has been a long time........




Well the last two or so years have been very busy and full of so many learning and growing experiences.  I have hardly had time to think or sit down and write, but things are slowing down some.  I said some.

We still have Three married children, but a few more grandchildren...make that a total of eight.  Brianna has moved out and is going to school full time.  Aaron has graduated and works in the woods full time.  Micah is still a student and works when he can on a farm (he prefers that over anything else).  Hope is still in school and is still very much in love with all her animals, she has added a few new ones to the family.  Harmony is still Harmony....she loves to craft.  And Alejandra is also enrolled in school full time in 2nd grade.  She has grown and changed so much.  She is also taking piano lessons and has a few therapies every week, so I am still a little busy.

You will hopefully be hearing from us on a regular basis as time allows.....
