Slacking

Hey all-
So sorry that we haven't been posting much on this blog. We have been so extremely busy with church, work, friends, Bible Study, house hunting, and the usual daily chores of keeping up with the housework and laundry.

We have been good, though. Busy, but good and happy. We got word a few weeks ago that an offer that we placed on a house was ACCEPTED! We are going to be moving! We are very excited, but kind of nervous at the same time. We have our home inspection today, and then hopefully we can close on the house later this week or really early next week. Then, the real fun begins! Boxes, painting, cleaning, more painting, tons of drywall, more painting and cleaning. It needs some serious work to it, but, we got it at a great price, and when we resell, it will be worth it! I will try to post some photos on here as the progress happens. Please pray for us as we finish this process, and as we begin to fix up our home.

Unfortunately, we don't have any new news to report on the adoption front. The Lord knows that we can only handle one thing at a time, and right now our minds are on our new home. Of course, we are always and forever praying for our baby, and wanting him/her home, but, right now we need to make a good living enviornment for the child. However, all of our paperwork is finished, for right now, and we are on the Bethany "Waiting Families" list that they publish on the website. You can check out our story at www.bethany.org. Click Family Profiles (bottom right hand), and then check MI as the state and we are on the 2nd page. We are praying for patcience as we go through this. We take comfort in knowing that God knows the baby he wants in our lives. It's all in his timing. What an awesome thing to remember. Sometimes, we get a little discuraged, and think, why weren't we picked? What's wrong with us? Why didn't they like us? But then, we remember God's promise to us in Jeremiah where he says, "I know the plans I have for you..."

In the meantime, we have been very involved at church doing Children's Worship, PowerPoint, Youth Group, Small Group, Bible Study with the High School students...it's all awesome! We are so blessed to be a part of HHCRC! We love our church family. We have been also busy trying to fit in time with our friends, time with just each other, time with nieces and nephews, and the list goes on.

Anyways, that's it for now. Thanks for reading! Have a great day!
