God has cleared our calendar!


SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!


God is so good!  After Derek and I went to our first appointment with the case worker for our homestudy, we left the office with an entire folder of paperwork to be filled out.  Hallie, our caseworker, bascially told us that the timing of this homestudy is up to us.  Some couples finish in a week whereas, others take months.  Well, being that God has spoken loudly and clearly, we both knew we had to get started.  The only issue was our booked calendars.  Both Derek and I teach and have after school obligations along with Ava's nightly homework so we felt a bit overwhelmed with finding the time to complete all the detailed paperwork.

This week we were abundantly blessed with a major snow storm in Tennessee.  School was cancelled all week for us, so we got right to business. The minute Ava went to bed, we got to business and completed all our paperwork in three days. Not only did we have time to work on our adoption homestudy, we found time to be a family and rest which is also a blessing.

I know this is God's work at hand and it is such a comforting feeling.  He is looking out for us and has totally given us answers to any challenges or obstacles we have faced so far.  We are taking one step at a time and trusting in HIM. 

Right now, our prayer is that this birthmother gets our profile in time and considers our family.
