Springtime

I am back!!!!!!!!!! I know it has been forever since we have posted anything...those of you who know me well are not surprised...I am terrible at keeping in touch! Kenneth and I have had an interesting past 3 months to say the least. At the end of February we had a much needed vacation to Las Vegas. It was so much fun ( I was actually there for a conference:). We had just finished our home study and in the process of finalizing it. Most of our papers were in order, except for reference letters and a few other stragglers. We had been praying for patience and God's control in our situation and of course, I was at least, still trying to control everything!

It became very clear when we returned that God is in control and we just have to let go! Kenneth lost his job the Monday we went back to work....
Needless to say the last 3 months have been a time of growing and complete dependence on God. We know that his timing is everything and for some reason he needed this to happen for us. During the 3 months that Kenneth was out of a job we did put all adoption work on hold. We would have a very difficult time with all of the paperwork changes if we had gone ahead and finalized our dossier, so we waited. It was a long and sometimes a dark time for us but we have come out stronger and more dependant on our Lord than ever! Kenneth got back into school during the search time and also worked with a landscaping company for awhile (thank you Lord for friends). He is now working for a new bank as the Branch Manager actually here in Warsaw! It is a step up and close to home....we are truly blessed.

Now let the adoption journey begin again!!!!!! We will keep you posted. We just need to work on paperwork right now.

God Bless
