I am going to attempt to get my blog back up to date as best as I can! It has been a very busy and hard past five months. I copied what I shared on FB last fall below to update my blog (if I have any readers left! :) I contemplated being done with my blog, but I have so much fun going back and reading old posts. I know these years are going to slip by so fast, and I want to remember all of the busy, crazy, sweet, special.... moments!
And our journey continues...
Last week I was leaving the hair salon when my daughter texted, "Call...". When DFCS calls, my heart always falls a little. I guess it always will. The voice on the other end said something like... "You don't have to say yes, but there is a baby that we think y'all would be perfect for. She has no one." My response was... "You guys are going to put us through this AGAIN!?! I don't know if I can do this. Is there not ANYONE that can take her? Have y'all checked ALL family? " And then I said, "Let me call Marc." I called him and without hesitation he said, "Absolutely!" I talked to the children and we all agreed, we felt like we were supposed to do this. Macheus was sitting at the table quietly, and throwing his head back said, "How will we ever take TWO babies to church!?!" That's the least of my worries child 😀.
I remember this time last year being in the thick of court dates. I was completely overwhelmed and said that I was never doing this again. Matthew sent me a song that night with a message that basically said, "If not me than who?" I also said after we adopted Matthias that I was finished with babies, and I happily passed all baby stuff on! We knew we were willing to take more placements, but I pictured young children. 😀

Just like last time there are so many unknowns, exhaustion, fear, and yes, peace. Peace knowing that just like last time God is in control.
Please pray for sweet "Baby A". She has some issues that need much prayer. Specifically pray that her feeding issues would resolve. Pray for Marc and I as we juggle our already busy schedules and now take daily trips to Macon. Pray for our children as this affects them too.
Thank you all for your prayers! She is a little miracle, and I know God has a plan for her life! 💗
