SOUL JAM

Our annual watching of Soul Jam and riding rides
at Funtown yesterday.
The bands were Bill Mallia, Salvation's House
Exit 244, Dara MacLean, The letter Black,
Jamie Grace,  Sidewalk Prophets.
The boys did ride more rides than usual
and Rohana is doing better with the motion
of some rides. She loves driving the
Antique cars. And I enjoyed being the only person
whom could push the stroller and handle the melt downs
delt out and dictated by Rohana. But I still had a great time.
Ending the day with Ice cream @ Shakerpond.   Awesome.

Today we will Worship the Lord with our Church family
and enjoy company later today.

GOD  IS  GOOD !!

4 DAY WEEKEND

The boys did not have school today.
And David took the day off .
The boyz really did a great job outside getting
the lawn done and taking the summer stuff out.
We also took the fans out and put the
air conditioners in the windows. 87 temps tomorrow
We did get a lot of things done today.
I enjoyed going to the store not once but
twice by myself !!
Tomorrow and Monday are busy family days
that we will enjoy together.

When I returned from Kohls, David said that our
India worker had email us. I said "Ya, I  know,
still no news."  His reply was "oh, you already
read it ?"   NO, I figured that there was no news.

SO, NO NEWS.   MAYBE NEXT WEEK

 HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND !!

CURIOUS ?

If you are checking out my blog to see if we have
received any news.

STILL WAITING !

So much confusing information out there.
One family has 7 children adopted from India.
Last year a family had 5 at home and adopted their 6th from India
This year another family (5 at home) just got rejected at the appeal
committee because their family is to large.
Another family with 2 boys and one girl (at home) received their referral.

I need to have faith that this is all part of GODS plan for us.

And to remind myself to praise in the storm, this is my ringtone.
          
            And I'll praise You in this storm
            And I will lift my hands
            For You are who You are
            No matter where I am
            And every tear I've cried
            You hold in Your hand
            You never left my side
            And though my heart is torn
            I will praise You in this storm 
                                                 
 Casting Crowns : Praise you in the storm

POST

I wanted to post some news, good news hopefully.
Still no news.
As I take care of Rohanas boo-boo. I am thinking
that we are really Blessed to have brought her home.
God kept her alive the day she was born and the
three years after so that we could bring her home
to be part of our family.   A long 2 year journey.
But well worth the wait. Yes, waiting is hard !

Just wondering what Gods plan for our family is ?

OPTIONS

First ...  "NO NEWS"

Second... someone close to me wants to know why I am
not very upset or angry at what is going on ?
I feel hurt and sad because we have fallen in love with
this beautiful child and we have not even met her.
For some reason I just feel calm, peaceful and maybe Its
because I realize that God is in control of this adoption. I am
not trying to fight the road that he may have chosen for us.

We do have other options if this does not happen for us,
at least that is what our agency said.
But we are still praying we will be able to bring HOPE home.

And I am sooo excited for the family who is also adopting from
India who were just told that the passport for their child has been
applied for !!!   They should be traveling soon.   AWESOME !!!!

     GOD IS GOOD .... ALL THE TIME !!!!

MOTHERS DAY

I had a great Mothers Day !

And I know it would not be possible without the great gifts
that I have received from the Lord... My Children.
Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. Psalms 127

LETTER

Our letter was approved by our Agency and the Orphanage and
will be forwarded to the ARC (?) committee  to see if they will
grant us NOC so we can adopt HOPE.       PRAYING !

So yes, more waiting.

Rohana had a great time @ hippotherapy today, she loves horses.
  

BIPOLAR

Yes, adoption can bring on bipolar like symptoms.
from laughing to crying in zero seconds.
Right now it hurts to cry, laugh and talk because I had my
wisdom teeth removed wednesday.
And yesterday afternoon our caseworker called to tell us that CARA
had contacted them and said " In reguards to NOC, wants to know
how we intend to manage another child since we already have 3
children at home.  ha,ha,ha ??
There are a lot of things (hurtful) that I can say right now
but I am not going to. I do know that GOD is in charge
and It is up to him if we bring  HOPE home.
So we have written a letter to the committee stateing our financial
stability and bipolar symptoms and the reason I am home and not
working I work very hard at home and wait to see if they will grant
us NOC (no objection certificate) to adopt HOPE.

Please pray for us to be able to move froward with the adoption.

What a day, finally @ 5pm our letter was signed, notarized
and emailed to our agency.  We will know more Monday or Tuesday.

WOOHOOO !!!!!!!

Article 5 just arrived this morning!
There is still a slim chance that we could get NOC
and a Court date before the 15 of May 2012.
that is ok if we don't the court is only closed for
one month. Can we still pull off my timeline ?

Shortly I am off to the dentist to get my wisdom
teeth taken out. So all  wisdom leaves me today.

WE HAVE AN AWESOME GOD !!!!!!
