this has been a wonderful week for me. i’ve been a slacker with all kinds of things lately, but i had some great motivators show up this week. my sweet friend maris and beautiful boy surprised me at lunch on tuesday. if you dont know them, you need to read their story. she and her hubs are such encouragers for clay and me. talking with her this week has been motivation for me to get this paperwork done! i feel like we’ve been in waiting mode for two years and we are finally in a place where we can do something. we have gotten several things checked off our list and are almost finished!
thank you, maris and steven, for your friendship and encouragement. im so glad we will have all of eternity together! 
and…check back later tonight for a non-adoption post. two posts in one day? can it be done?

I’m gonna go ahead and bet against you! YOU CAN’T DO IT!! (just a little taunt for more motivation!) Looking forward to seeing you and Clay this weekend! Should be a jolly-good time!

When I complain about the adoption paperwork I remember Ephesians 1:5. It says “He(God) PLANNED in his purpose of love, that we should be adopted as His own children through Jesus Christ”. Even God planned so who am I to gripe?
