Slumping

This week at Desire Worship I spoke about being Lukewarm like the church at Laodicea (Rev. 3). God had been showing me many things that I was to share with the ladies. It was a word especially for me. We tend to get comfy or maybe just complacent in our lives. We find the rut and it is easiest to just stay there. I was challenged by God's word and I hope the ladies were too. Are you slumping? At this time of year we tend to be breathing easier because we've made it through the holidays but spring is a long way off still. For me, I feel like the momentum of this adoption has waned and it too seems a long way off. We have no guarantees of a time frame which is so difficult at times but on the flip side-I know God holds the perfect plan. Each day I have to choose not to get bogged down by remaining in cruise control. You know, when we stay on cruise control we think we can dodge feeling disappointment because we aren't "passionate" about the things going on in our life. I don't know about you, but I don't want to stay on cruise control. I want to be passionate about the life God has given me. It is truly a gift. Nothing can transform my mind like Hi s word- so my challenge is to go even deeper in what He is trying to say to me. What about you? God says in Revelation 3 that because the people were lukewarm He wanted to vomit them out! I want to please God with my actions AND my faith. So, I choose to live passionately for Him in all areas of my life and to allow Him to increase my faith for this baby to come soon!

Snow to Spring?!?!

Hard to believe that just last week it was snowing but now this week we are experiencing temps in the 60s! Wow! I'm ready for spring! No adoption updates, but we are expecting a baby soon! Please continue to pray with us for the birthmother and our sweet baby. We are also hoping to hear something soon about the grant as well. We are praying for favor!
Thanks for agreeing with us in prayer!

Horton Hatches an Egg

Well, Benjamin has completed his first school project (with mom and dad's help)! For the 100th day of school he will dress as Horton the Elephant! He's so cute! While we are somewhat hoping for snow tomorrow we are also hoping for a school day --the 100th day to be exact. Hard to believe.....
No adoption news if you all were wondering. Keep praying for the birthmother to choose us and for our baby. I'm ready to see him/her!
