Prayer Request

Just a few short months ago my grandma was diagnosed with cancer. The tumor she has is inoperable so the Doctor's decided the best option for her was Chemo to shrink the tumor.

Well it turns out the chemo is making her more sick. I don't know the details of  everything. All I know is that it doesn't look promising for her. She has asked that all her children come see her. So my mom is leaving tonight and they are calling hospice on Monday.

I really really wish I can jump on a plane and go see her. I am thankful though I got to see her last summer when  I was out in Florida on business, That was just a short Saturday visit but at least it is better than nothing.

I am continuing to pray for her health and strength. My God is bigger and better than any Dr and I know he is a healing God. I know He can heal her if it is in his will so at this point I am praying for the LORD's will. I want to be selfish and want Him to heal her. But if that is not what he wants than there is nothing I can do about it. I just know she has other great grandkids to meet in the future.

I just ask that you pray for her and her condition

Another fork in the road

David an I have some more decisions to pray and think about. Do we look at other agencies in town or do we sit back and be patient for this agency. How do we know what the Lord wants for us and what is the desires of our hearts. Lots of prayer and seeking going on. I will continue to keep you posted on which way the Lord directs us.

The Interview Results

We finally got our call from the agency today and unfortuntaly we didn't make it in. She said we were a good canidate and we can try again in February to get in. She said they were looking more for families that already had children because they have a shortage of those families.

I want to cry but I know that is not going to change anything. Sometime it makes me feel like I am not fit to be a mother but on the other hand it just makes me want to push more for my goal. All I want to do is be a Godly mother to a child that needs a loving home and I have that loving home to give. Sometime I just don't understand God's plan but we are not suppossed to understand his plan for us. I have worked so hard to be a mother that it hurts when I can't be. I guess you really don't understand until you are put in that situation.

Deep down I know that this means that the child He has planned for us is not ready for us but when The LORD does finally reveal his plan to us it will be one glorious day and I can't wait for that to happen and I can forget about all this heartache

Psalm 37: 3-5-
 Trust in the LORD, and do good; [so] shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.

The Interview

We had our interview today and it went extremely well. The lady doing the interviews was extremely nice and it wasn't a drilling like I thought it was going to be. It was more of them telling us the process of adoption in detail and asked us why we were adopting and what we wanted in the adoption.

We find out Friday if we get into the agency or not. She was completly up front and honest with us and told us that they are interviewing 18 families with only 6 slots open so it is going to be tough but she said the fact that we live in Omaha is a plus. So we did our part and we just need to let the LORD do his part and to continue to pray for his will to be done.

Brutus' Dramatic Day

Yesterday on a daily walk with the dogs I noticed Brutus had a puss filled sore on his behind. I wasn't to worried since I just noticed it and I thought it was a bug bite of some sort so I was going to watch it over the next few days to see how it look.

This morning when we woke up the sore was worse and it was bleeding so we called the vet promptly at 7:30 when they opened up and he had an appointment at 8:30. Again I wasn't to worried I thought he would get some ointment and we would be on our way. By 8:45 he was in surgery. At this point I was worried. His left anal gland had ruptured. My poor boy was in so much pain and he couldn't express it to me. After his quick 30 minute surgery, I was on my way back home with him. Boy does he hate that cone around his head. He refuses to walk with it on. My guess it is because he has tunnel vision with it on. I wouldn't want to walk around like that either.

I am just glad my baby boy is OK and doing well. He is on antibiotic and an inflammatory for 7 day but should be up and running again by tomorrow.

Finally!

After 6 months after putting in our application we finally got called today for our entrance interview with the adoption agency. It is August 29th at 8:30 so anyone who reads this please remember to say a little prayer for us that day. I just have to try to stay focused on life between now and then and don't let it take over my life. I know it will be hard but with LORD's help I can. I have waited for this moment for such a long time. I am one step closer to getting the child I have always wanted. As much as I want this I want what God has willed for our lives. I just pray he gives us the words to say and the wisdom on that day,
