SOOOO Blessed!

I just feel so blessed to have the family I have and to have the support I have. I have been down lately but this weekend has really encouraged me, my Aunt and my Mom put together another "DREADED" rummage sale and as we were sitting in the damp, hot, humid air waiting for people to come and buy stuff I looked around and realized we were making memories, A lot of my family members were there talking and joking and really enjoying spending time together, I feel like our family has gotten together more since these babies have come into our lives than ever before! PRAISE GOD! That has been my slogan the last few months "Well, we are making MEMORIES" what ever your going through, good or bad realize that once its over its a memory, a story that you can share and hold on to! It has been raining the last few days in Wisconsin and so alot of streets are flooded and when there are signs that say, "Road Closed Due to HIGH WATER" you probably should listen. My Mom did not listen to that very sign, we left the rummage to get everyone lunch and we tried to take a short cut back in stead we were met with this sign. Now instead of doing what the sign said and turning around my Mom went around the sign and the roads were good for a while but then there in the road straight ahead was the lake of water, still determined (IN a LEXUS SUV)she just drove on until my cousin Jodi pointed out that the electric pole looked like it was kinda deep. She came to her senses and turned around not before I could get in a good scare... I yelled "Oh no water is seeping in my door!!!!" You should have seen their faces! While during this it wasn't so fun now I have a great story/memory of that day! Don't take anything for granted... even the not so great things!

Oh I got so wrapped up in my blessing I almost forgot to tell you... there is a family that I have been in contact with that is traveling to the same orphanage that Cole and Rorie are in and I got word that this mother sees Rorie everyday and says she is a happy lovely girl! To most that doesn't sound like a huge update but to me just knowing someone saw her and she is happy makes me feel so great I can't wait to see her myself!!!!

I wish I could FREEZE time

I feel like there is so much going on in my life right now it is so hard to focus... I know what needs to get done but the harder I try to organize my life the more I have no control and the bigger mess I make. I have to give this to God and trust that he can fix the messes I make!!! Fred has agreed to take more responsibility with the last bit of adoption paperwork so that I can focus on my highly stressful job, I'm very thankful but I just pray that he works as hard as I would if I didn't have this highly stressful job!!!LOL!!! I know this doesn't sound very nice but I just don't have time for NICE I have two babies I need to get home!!! Keep us in prayer, I need for these last steps that seem confusing to just seem that way but actually be very easy!!!!
On the up side I went with Tanya and my cousin Jodi to Target tonight and I got a really nice highchair for Rorie on clearance!!!!

I Need a Kick in the Pants!!!

I have been feeling so sorry for myself lately... sad that things aren't moving faster, sad that I feel like I could be doing a better job, sad that I am having a really hard time with the summer camp I run, the list goes on and on!!! I need to get my focus off the things that are weighing me down and back on the on God and his will for my life and the lives of these beautiful children! I need to get back in the race, not only am I not running the race God has given me I think I have completely stopped and have taken a break. Lord give me a kick in the butt to get out of this funk I have gotten myself into! Please being praying for Fred and I!
