We are fond of the expression "preparing for rain" after watching the movie "Facing the Giants". There was a story of two men praying for rain but only one man prepared his crops to receive the rain. That is our motto this week as we prepare for what God may have in store for us. Kevin and I were in Wal-mart today and I thought we should have the basics for a new baby; onesies, socks and newborn hats and a new sleeper that the baby would come home in. Kevin saw a soft, cute, pink snowsuit for a newborn and wanted it. So, we have prepared for rain. If we get a call to go I won't have to think on those things.
Tonight I was blessed with a surprise. I was told I was going to a night out where others were going to share their adoption experiences. Well, I was the only one to share and it was a party for me and our adoption!!!! I did not expect that. Children gave money from their piggy banks and I was blessed by friends who were there and a very nice devotion by the famous Mrs. Biby:) God is very good to us. Amy had a Creative Memories project and is sharing the proceeds from her party with us for the adoption. I thank you all who were there and shared themselves and gave so lovingly. I have this very heavy bag of change that my kids are going to love when they wake in the morning. One more way to show the kids how God uses other people. Thanks Jana for driving and for everything.
Psalm 92:4 For You, Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands.

I was so glad to do it for you. You have been an inspiration to me since the first time I met you. My first memory of you is with little ones all around your feet, one on your hip, and one in your belly, and a big smile on your face. You are Joy and grace and it its always a luxury to spend time with you:)
