I had a friend ask me yesterday, “Hey…What’s going on with
you??? WOW has this question really made me ponder, in a good way! I have
spent the last 24 hours wondering what is
going on with me!?! Honestly, I don’t know how to answer that question!! I
am going to try to do a real quick update and hopefully along the way I might
just answer my own question! Please be forgiven if I misspell words, or use the
incorrect language arts. I have SO much going on in my LITTLE mind right now! J
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Family update ~ I will start with the fact that right now I
wish we could just slow down and enjoy all the blessing the Lord has given us! I
have a great family that is growing up way too fast and I just don’t seem to be
able to spend enough time with them! My ‘eldest’, Bryan, is now living outside
of our house and I hate that I don’t see him as often as I would like. Tyler is
gone to Boy Scout camp as a junior counselor this summer, which means he is
gone the ENTIRE summer. Justin and Colby are off to church camps, Boy Scout
camps, vacation bible school camps, parades, etc! (They are just plan busy!)
And my sweet little Mary is going through that cute, cranky, lovely, drive-you-nuts
two year old stage! I really just want everything and everybody to just slow
down for just a moment. I would love to just eat one meal together, just one. It’s
been too long. I want the kids to freeze and just spend time TOGETHER being my little kids! J (If you are reading this and
you have little ones, let me suggest that you don’t wish them young years away!
I know they can be hard at times, but I want them back so bad right now!)

Adoption update~ At this point that is about the only thing
I wish would hurry up! We have been on this journey for one year and two
months. It’s been a very LONG trying journey for me. I have stumbled many times
and have just sat wondering if I had heard the Lord correctly. The crazy part
is we both know that we are walking in the correct path, it is just taking
TIME! I have learned so much about the word patience in just the last couple of
weeks. The Lord is the great planner and knows everything. I have to cling to
that and continue to hold on to his words.
Rest in the Lord, and wait PATIENTLY for Him...Psalm 37:7
Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the
Lord's purpose that prevails. Proverbs 19:21
Property update ~ we recently bought
7 acres of land! I have to be honest and say this land has brought us A LOT of
work and has driven me up the wall with the entire cleanup, but I wouldn’t
change any of it for anything. We have A LOT more work to do but one day soon we
hope to be able to have a little working farm. (I say that while laughing, we already have 3
dogs, 3 fish, 2 cats, 2 gerbils, 1 bird and 26 chickens and 1 rooster! I
believe we might already have our start on the ‘farm’!) The Lord has given us a
vision of a healing farm for both humans and animals! We shall see. Patience is
all I have to say on that!
Before (Umm-Yuck!)
After (still have lots to do!)
Land that I love!
Hope you have enjoyed the ‘quick’
update, I hope the next one won’t be so far away!
