Well I have not written in a while. Just in the waiting process. We have moved up on the referral list, we are number 12 on the list. So that is exciting. Just waiting for Gods amazing timing .
Just a cute thing that Gavin said in the car:
"Mom, you know what? I know where babies come from?"
I said," Where do they come from?"
"They come from heaven and come from Jesus."
He was looking up to the heavens and smiling.
What a precious time for us in the car.

Devotions
In my devotions this week- it has been all about adoption. So neat how God continues to speak and confirms what he wants for my life.
Verse:
So they will put my name on the Isrealites, and I will bless them. Numbers 6:27
God's people carry God's name. Numbers 6 is spoken over us, our compassionate, merciful God marks us as his very own, dearly loved, fully redeemed people.
The LORD, the King and Creator of heaven and earth, has adopted us into his very family. As in any earthly adoption, he has given us his name and made us his heirs- co heirs with Christ. All the riches of heaven have been credited to our account.
1 Peter 1:3-5
How true this is- what a awesome God we serve.
Please pray for our child and the process as we wait. Please pray for Gods timing and to protect our new child, and for Gavin and Whitney as we prepare for a new addition to our family.

Garage Sale Success
This week was our adoption garage sale. We set up the sale in our church -Family Life Center/Gym on Friday. We had many friends and family help us set up all day. We finished pricing and folding around 6pm.
Saturday, April 25 9-3pm was our sale. It was a great success. Thanks to so many people. A HUGE thanks to Deb- who helped me with every area of this sale. (She is a garage sale pro)Thank you to everyone who donated items for the sale, also to everyone who helped set up, folded clothes, watched Gavin and Whitney, shopped, invited people, and helped with clean up.
Profit we made : $2,133.89
WOW!!! We are so blessed. Our God is a Awesome God

So Cute
Gavin and Whitney are watching me get ready for our adoption garage sale. We have been cleaning our house, and friends and family have been donating stuff too.
Whitney saw something she wanted in the many boxes I have been packing for the sale- and I said," We can't play with this today, we are going to sell it. We have other things to play with." She got a little mad, (she's very strong willed) and Gavin said, " Whit we have to sell it -come on lets find something else." Gavin was such a good brother in this situation, I am praying for my children that they understand how adoption works. I pray they welcome our new child with open arms and love our new precious one!
