Unexpected

When you don't expect wonderful "pick-me-ups" they happen so much. This week we've had a few...former students came in to visit, which I love! Laughter was happening everyday with our kids, coworkers and friends. High school friends are planning a get-together, which are always fun. And great friends of ours took two of our kids overnight so that we could get to our other child's appointment early this morning without extra stresses. We are so BLESSED. We've had a good and busy week. The other unexpected situations are in relation to our adoption process. We inquired about some children and already we have received some communication. Now we are almost done with our Home Study -we just need our agency to complete it (and they have many so I am not being impatient) and then we can move onto finding matches. We have decided to adopt domestically. So I wrote a few emails in order to ask some questions. The wonderful piece to adopting is that you learn something new everyday, whether about yourself, your family or others. So we have at least started in the right direction, we feel. We are trusting that He will place the correct children in our family and if that is not the plan, we will have grown stronger as family through this adventure. So just wanted to share that "unexpected" things can bring smiles to your day, sometimes we just need to recognize that the unexpected things are blessings! Hope to be writing in about a month or two on the next step in our adventure. We'll share more about our family as we have basketball tourneys, wrestling practices, and fun family times coming up, but hopefully we will be able to share news on where we are being lead. May your day have unexpected blessings so that you can Praise Him for what He is doing in your life. Have a great weekend!
