Be thankful

Hope that you, the readers, are enjoying life. I have been away from the blog for a little while due to fun family times and frustration with the adoption. We were notified that we still need more background checks. We are thankful that the adoption process is complete, but after thinking that we will have a completed Home Study in January, we (especially I) were frustrated. Then God kicks me and says "Hello - remember that I am in control". So thankful for the kick as we were blessed with many positives for our position in the adoption. Friends asked me about the process and I was able to share (actually vent) and had nuetral views shared in the conversation. Our community has wonderful police departments as we were able to get clearance letters and finger prints and papers notarized very quickly. So God was kindly reminding me that He is in control. So now we move on to our next adventure - completion of the Home Study hopefully in 10-14 days, but knowing that it will be God's timing. So that is our life in a nut shell with the adoption process. For the family's current adventures: our girls have a basketball tourney and skills at a Girls' Varisty game, wrestling tourney the first weekend in March for our son, husband/dad is now in the playoffs with the Boys' basketball team, and I am doing the polar plunge this Saturday. We are enjoying life and at times just need a kick from above to remind use that He is in control and we are very thankful for that! Proverbs 19:21 "Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand."
