Do you ever sit back and ask God why you are here? Like what is HIS infinite purpose for you? I tend to do that a lot and if I had to guess, I would think most Christian women do, at times, wonder about the purpose of their lives. Firstly, before launching into this question, I want to emphasize that NOTHING I write is because of a desire for pity on me. This is my life and God has given it to me to live! I have for years and yet He showed me again this month, after having already saved my life two other times! If that's NOT God, then I am not sure what it is. On 9/28, I went in for a tummy tuck and breast reduction. Pain I’m having is temporary, but the former pulmonary embolism could have easily been at the finale of my life (I am 40 years old with a beautiful 12-year-old daughter an amazing husband). Our beautiful family, in 2011, in February when we took our last trip to Russia to bring Katie home. I only pray to God that he watches over myself and my family. God watches over...
Today, we visited Katie again at the baby home in Ussirysk and returned to find out that the entire city of 800,000 in Vladivostok has no water today. They turned it off apparently to fix pipes before the cold season. This is really roughing it for us! No showers tonight and no laundry either. I was going to wash some clothes, but we will just have to do without tonight. Often, as Americans, I think we forget some of the luxuries we are afforded when others in this world, like our Katie are not so lucky. But WE are the ones who are eternally blessed that God allowed this match between us to happen. Here are some photos from today. We will have to save the videos to upload when we return next week. The internet is just too slow here. Ussirysk Baby Home #3 Waiting for them to bring her to us today... She LOVES bananas!!!! She already really loves walking around holding BOTH our hands... My favorite l...
So, Aaron is changing positions (most likely in March on the 1st) that may take us out of Ohio, making our home study null and void. The court in Vlad has had our dossier #2 since 12/28/10 and we're anxiously awaiting a court date! Not only because we want our daughter home, but also because it looks like the Air Force is not going to grant my husband the extension that he requested (letter in hand from the adoption agency). I don't know what this means for our Katie if he doesn't get that because we NEED a court date ASAP. Seriously, how LONG does it really take to get a court date? We can't move out of Ohio until this adoption is completed. What stinks though is that when Uncle Sam says you have to move, you have to and there's nothing we can do about it. But we were told we could lose our little one that we already LOVE so much! I pray and pray everyday that we get that court date as we have done all that we can and there is nothing we ...
Aww...she will be singing up a storm running around at home with you guys so soon!
