A much overdue update

I had almost forgotten about this blog and can not believe that it is approaching six months since I last posted any update. For our five readers (maybe more?), I apologize.

We are in the waiting stage of the adoption journey. Our home study is done, our profile book was created, and now we just wait.....and wait.....and wait. We know that the Lord is in control and are trusting Him. One huge praise is that the Lord provided all of the funds for the adoption. This is a huge answer to prayer. Early on, we felt strongly that we didn't want to go into debt for the adoption. It has been so awesome to see how He answered and provided. Please pray for patience for each of us, as well as a match.

We are stepping back from most junior high ministry involvement this summer. We need a break and a time to pray and seek the Lord in the direction that He would have us. We don't want to continue in junior high just because we've always done junior high- we want to make sure that the Lord wants us there. We will continue teaching Sunday school this summer but will reevaluate our involvement towards September. Please pray for wisdom and leading in this area too.

Hopefully more regular updates will follow....in less than six months!
