So I thought it was difficult to find time to blog before, but now that we have two little ones, it's even harder! But trust me, I'm not complaining. These to precious children are just so much fun. It's hard to believe they're really with us sometimes. They both bring us so much joy. They are not officially ours yet, and the social worker has reminded me to keep my emotions in check and to guard my heart, but we've decided to completely and totally love these children regardless of what the outcome may be. They are so loving themselves, it would be impossible not to give them everything we have. Thank you so much for all of your prayers! Please continue to pray that whatever is best for these children is what happens. Michael and I really really want to adopt them-which they were put in our home since we are licensed as foster to adopt, but most importantly we want God's will to be done.

The phone calls and emails and officially started! So far we've gotten requests for 4 placements that we have to now wait and find out if we are picked. On one of them we should find out tomorrow! So please just pray for us to completely and totally put our trust in God right now and have peace about whatever happens.

Michael and I are officially licensed to be foster parents! This means that whenever the right child comes along, we can take them! The whole process has been crazy and fast, but I'm so glad to be at this point. ( I know I forgot to update on the fire inspection, but obviously we've now passed! Thank you for all your prayers!) Now it's time to wait. We we're licensed on January 13th, so it's been just over a week.

I asked our guy how long we should expect to wait for our first phone call and he said 3-5 days. Needless to say we are now on day 8 with out a phone. On Tuesday I was starting to get anxious, very anxious, and was in desperate need of peace. All day I asked God for peace, but continued not to feel the great peace I was hoping for. After school I had a long wait until Michael would come pick me up, so I decided to check email and do other various busying activities. I had my bible study with me that I needed to work on for the bible study that evening, but I kept finding other things to do, while still asking God for peace. Finally I decided it was time to finish my study. The title of the study for that day "To Experience God's Peace". I kid you not. Scripture after scripture revealing the peace that only God can bring. God is good.

As we continue to wait, please pray that we would have peace and that God would give us wisdom when it comes time to say yes or no to a placement. And thank you for all the time you've already spent in prayer for us!
