I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!

Y'all, it has been WAY too long!! I have had every intention of blogging and journal-ling through the past 2.5 years of life. I never felt as though I could do the folks of Haiti justice in trying to describe our experience on here. And I really had a difficult time trying to decide how much to put about my child, what part was a piece of our testimony and what part was their story to share one day. I also wasn't comfortable being 100% real. I don't share anything for pity so I didn't want to share and just receive that in return.  Nothing to pity here. Life is hard. But whose isn't? Most of us with our "hard life moments" still don't know hard in the grand scheme of things in the world. However, we all have what is difficult to us, especially as parents and none of that is to be overlooked or unaccepted. It is what it is. What I hope to share soon is some of the difficulty, some of the craziness, and a lot of the joy & blessings we would not have experienced unless we were obedient to what the Lord was calling us to do.

I hopped on here today to once again, be way past due, and share with the online world that we are adopting again. And sorta soon! ha Our official journey this time started with the completion of our home study last fall (2014).  Insert chasing papers & signatures for a few months...we then shipped every adoptive parent's favorite thing, the dossier, to China in February of this year. We received a referral at the beginning of June & accepted that referral a few weeks later. Our son just turned 4 in October and the travel journey to bring him home starts ummm...January 7th...as in next week!! So much to do...so many emotions...eeek!!

We have been insanely blessed and I hate to admit it but surprised at what the Lord has done through this adoption. We didn't receive any grants this time around either but somehow (y'all know how) each time we had a deadline, we had the money. The Lord provided through family, friends, folks I don't even know, and our own financial sacrifices & savings to get us to the final step. I do hope to blog about that journey and see it on paper in front of me just how He orchestrated it all financially. Look for that post soon! Don't EVER let that be the reason you don't expand your family!! :)
