We are still alive! I promise!!

I realize that I have just left this blog hanging.  I am sure there are only a few of you that even still read it, but for those who do, we are still alive!

I have had several friends ask me recently where we are in the adoption process, so I thought I would take a minute and just explain where we are and how God is working in our lives.  We still believe that God has called us to adopt 100%.  We in no way doubt that at all!  However, we have really been just in the waiting processes.  We know that God has put us here to wait on Him because we are not patient people.  :)  He needed us to make the first step and just say yes and then be ready for when He said go.  So that is where we are.  Waiting for Him to say go!  What we know for sure is that when it happens it will happen fast and it will happen in a way that in not conventional. What we do not know is age or sex.  We are staying open to what He has for us.  Boy or Girl.  Newborn or Teenager.  I know I have shared this before, but I thought I would share it again.  Please do not stop praying for us.  We know He is in control, but sometimes it is hard to wait.  We have had several friends recently who have brought children home through adoption and because our heart is pulled that way it is hard to see them and not wonder when it will be our turn.  BUT, we KNOW God is in control.  HIS timing is PERFECT!!  So, that is where we are.  Waiting.  Thank you in advance for your prayers.

I will try my hardest to keep this blog going from this point on.  :)
