"He executes justice for the orphan and the widow, and He shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing." Deuteronomy 10:18
WELCOME!
We are so excited to share our Ethiopian adoption adventure, and our CRAZY lives with all of you! Our hope is that it will encourage you to step out in faith to do what God has called you to do! There are FIELDS of fatherless children waiting for someone to care for them, to love them, to tell them of JESUS' love for them...will YOU be the one??

I really couldn't think of a title for this post..just a lot of ordinary stuff going on here. We started homeschooling last week and it is going great!! My kids are so much better behaved when they are busy:)..
I don't know about you guys, but do any of you hit "refresh" EVERY time you walk by the computer to see if you have any adoption news from your agency in your inbox...I think I'm a little obsessed!! The wait is going to be REALLY long if I keep this up!!LOL
Anyway, I'm getting more "O.K." with waiting..a little...these next few months will fly by with the holidays, etc...it makes it all bearable...I just keep my eyes focused on Jesus and what he has called me to do NOW(i.e., homeschooling, wife, homemaker...) and try to remain faithful to those things..I feel His peace when I do that..besides, did I mention that I love this job!!?
More later...

Questions..
O.k., I have to admit that instead of writing on our own blog, I've been searching other family's!! Trying to make contacts with others adopting from Bulgaria, etc. It's more fun!!
Not much to report here. The new family code goes into effect in Bulgaria on Oct. 1st, 2009, which hopefully is good news for all of us!! Lately I've been struggling with waiting...
At home, we're trying to get ready for school which begins next week...but I'm afraid not much is getting done!! I'm not working now, but somehow the days slip away without getting much accomplished!! I am usually a pretty good organizer, but I've been slacking lately....
Once again, it is so good to see so many families adopting from Bulgaria! I love watching your journeys unfold and will pray with you as you travel this road of faith!!

Praise God!!
I can't believe it's already August!! Not much of a summer here in Ohio, but one month closer to meeting our little girl!! Great news on the job front..I know I complained a little in the last post, but the Lord has answered our prayers about me coming home again full-time. Ben got a part-time job, which actually pays more than mine..so, I can quit!! Yea!! I knew that August was going to be a big month for us, and so far it is turning out to be just that!!
Nothing else to report..getting ready for the new homeschool year and eagerly anticipating our county fair!! It's huge, and a lot of fun!!
Praise God for his mighty works!!
