Its been a while Wow!

Wow! Its been a while since I blogged. A ton has happened since I last blogged. The biggest thing is we are finally getting a fence! YIPEE!! My dogs will be so happy. The put in post in our yard already and they hit 5 pipes to our water sprinkler which was not cool. But it is only costing us $30 to replace which is isn't bad.

Yesterday I went to ReRuns R Fun with a friend and I was able to get a really nice pack n play that has a mobile that plays music and has a changing table really cheap. We are slowly starting to get things for our little one. We are getting things we know we will need regardless of its a boy or girl and will not expire on us. I can't wait until our little one joins our family. The LORD has a plan and I just have to be patient and wait on his timing.

One last thing I found this verse and it really touched my heart about adoption.

You are the helper of the fatherless. LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear, To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more.
Psalms 10:14,17-18

The decision is made

Well, after alot of research and prayer David and I chose an agency that we feel that the LORD is bringing us to. Even though we have to wait until August to even get interviewed it is the best one for us. We chose to go with Lutheran Family Services. All of the other agencies application fee was really expensive like $1000 just for appplying and the informational meetings had waiting list. With Family Lutheran Services the informational meeting we were able to get in right away and the application fee is only $100.

Waiting until August will give us time to prepare and save some money and it will give me a chance to get used to my new schedule and the less pay and if something does comes up like if we find an identified adoption we can still go through the Family Lutheran Services for the legal stuff. So this is the best decision for us. The hardest part about waiting until August is I want a child now but we have to wait on the LORD to bring the right child to us.

I have comfort and knowing that He already has one picked out that is perfect for David and I. He already know who he or she is and I can't wait to meet him and her.
