Information Overload

          What an amazing God we serve!  When we were first accepted  by our agency we thought our first informational meeting would be in August of 2013. This was OK with us, but stressful, since taking a Friday off the first month of school is always hard. Our God had an even better plan, on Monday we received a phone call telling us there had been some cancellations and there was an opening at the February meeting on the 22nd.  We are already out of school this week, so how perfect!  Not only did we not have to take a day off for this meeting, but our 2nd meeting falls during our Spring Break so we don't have to take a day then either!  For those of you in Education you know that taking a day off is always harder than being at school, especially when finding a substitute is so hard

      So after a crazy busy week Nick and I headed to Macon for our first meeting. We were given a lot of information about the agency itself, and how the process will work. We were able to meet our caseworker and other families who are in the process as well.  We actually met another couple from our town, and the wife will be attending the Created for Care retreat in March just like Tarrah. 

   Now that we are officially officially beginning the paperwork chase begins. Please pray for us as we gather all the information needed, and for our child's birth mother. We don't know if she is even pregnant yet, but our God knows who she is and that she will be a part of our adoption story.

If you know anyone who is pregnant and needs help please have them contact http://www.covenantcareadoptions.com/. Not only do they work with adoptive parents, but they share the love of Christ to mothers who are experiencing brokenness. 

Love you all!

Valentine's Day

WOW, Valentines day in a middle school is crazy!

  I wanted to wish all my family and a friends a very happy Valentines day, I pray each of you are filled with love and know that our Heavenly Father loved us enough to send his only son to die for our sins. What a love that is!

  Today I also pray for my children's future spouses. That they are raised to know the love of Christ and love him with all their heart.  Who knows, they may not even be born yet, but I know God has the perfect person chosen to be my childrens mate.



Adoption update:
  Both sets of fingerprints are done and sent off. Now we wait to have our Homestudy done:-)
