So much has been happening here!! We finally have a scheduled ground breaking to begin construction on our house!! We should be starting this Thursday. We are praying for the weather to cooperate. There have been lots of storms and rain here over the last week. A temporary construction driveway has to be installed before we dig and if the rain doesn't let up, we may miss our date.
Bigger news: we are asking for anyone who reads this blog to pray that God will guide us in a very important decision we are facing. We have had two foster sons for almost a year now. "Our" plan was not to adopt, but to be a safe place for kids to stay until they were able to go back home with their parents. Nothing about this placement (which is our first) has been the textbook example. We brought the boys home, there was really not an adjustment period. Except for the fact that they didn't sleep much, they are very "normal" boys. No emotional, physical or academic issues. They are super smart kids.
Anyway, we really had high hopes for their parents. They both were doing so well at first and I thought for sure that the boys would end up back home. Unfortunately, the state has filed for permanent custody. We have some time to figure out what to do, but we have to start thinking about a decision. I can think of very logical reasons that are for and against adopting. I just want to make sure we are following God's plan, not ours. Please, please, please, pray for God to make His decision so clear to us that we cannot deny that it's His decision, not ours.
Thanks and many blessings to all,
Angel

Praying Angel!
Let me pray with you now...
Father;
Angel and I come to you asking for your Will in her life. Lord we thank you that thus far you have led and guided her in regards of the boys coming to their family. Father I ask that you give Angel and her Knight wisdom for this adoption possibility, I pray that you would come to them by day and by night telling them clearly what it is you are asking them to do. I pray no worldly wisdom would guide them, only your Spirit and your Power.
I pray that no fear or doubt would rise up against them, but that they would see the enemy for who he is and keep him under their foot at all times.
I pray for these two brothers Lord, that you would put your peace within them and you would allow them to love without holding back (of course I ask the same for Angel and her family). We know you love everyone within their walls, so Lord please have your way and glorify yourself in their midst.
I pray this in Jesus' name... amen.
(and my word verification is....
blesse ;-) Glad to do it my sweet friend!
