So we are thinking of having a Bar-B-Q fundraiser. We are so worried that it will flop! We have a guy, who is willing to donate his time and equipment, and space to do this for us, but we are just worried that we will loose money in the long run. Please be in prayer about this event. We want to try and have all the remainder money we need, buy the end of summer! Thanks a bunch prayer comrades!

its so hard...
It is so hard this time. When you get pregnant, you generally have a baby in 9 months, when we adopted the first 2 times, we had babies in just a few months each time, this time is a killer.
I ache to bring my son home. I try my very best to stay positive, to know that he is coming home, to say God will finish what he started, but its hard. With recent news of our age being a problem, my spirit is really heavy with worry. I know that I am not supposed to worry, but I really feel that at times it's my middle name. We are trying like crazy to come up with the rest of his fee's, and possibly a trip for Tim to visit again, but that at times feels miles away. I long to get his room together, to buy clothes, to visit again, to bring him home, to have 5 children living in our home.
So with this, I ask:
Please pray for my heart not to worry, to completely and totally know and believe that God is in control. For us to raise enough money to pay the rest of the fees, a trip for Tim, and final money to go pick him up, which we estimate to be about $3000. For somehow, someway to be able to start on creating his room, for our file to exit IBESR, for our file to fly through the rest of the process, and finally, for the other files stuck like ours. It would be really hard to know that we got approval when friends have not. I am at a stage of UGG, and I am really trying, but could use some extra prayer. Tim and I are both working like crazy to make sure we have the money when we need it, and I almost think we are working to hard. Tim works 2 jobs, his regular fire dept job, and part time at the YMCA, I have picked up PRN at a nursing home this summer since school is out, and recently committed to teaching summer school sessions for a group of preschoolers. Please pray for strength. Thank you all my dear blog readers, I don't know what I would do with out you all!

This is us...
No fancy meals, but picnics at the park,
Feeding the hungry ducks on a nice day,
Taking a dip at a local pool, on a hot day,
showing off,
and finally, being silly at the little splash park!
We are not a fancy family, but a family who really loves to be together. We don't go all out on clothes, homes or vacations, but rather enjoy each other with what is readily assessable. We have taken a few nice vacations, but none are as enjoyable as just being together, laughing, playing, and making memories at home. We are so blessed to have all we have, and look forward to share it all with our son Isaiah. Looking to the future, enjoying now, and not letting a single moment pass us by to enjoy one another. :0)
