A little hope!

Well I got a little tiny bit of encouraging today.
All I can say is that I got some wonderful encouraging words and even though we didn't get the CAll today,there is a little smile in my step today. Just when I needed to hear something positive,I did. So we are thankful and still loving life and waiting for our first glimpse of our bengali beauty. Good-night to u all. Everyone is sleeping so I guess I need to hit the hay too.:)
I bet my Maiya is just waking up and eating breakfast.:)

Numb to this wait.....

Ok so now I think I am becoming numb to this "CALL" wait,referral wait...just a BIG WAIT.Whatever u would like to call it,maybe uuuhhhh a roller coaster,the Drop Zone (ride at Kings Island),we are still hanging in the air here,Hello does anyone see us in the air waiting to come down? HAHA

SO you guessed it huh? You are right,NO call, nothing,notta yet.I am trying to put this all in the back of my mind. Just when u think that 3 is a charm, well I have to say not in our case. I'll explain later. I was talking to a friend the other day,and she told me that we were going to have an amazing story....I feel we are too. Something to inspire and give hope to those behind us in this journey. I know that when we get our call it will be a happy,joyous day with peace and we will know without a shadow of a doubt that it is our Maiya. Hold on to your hats because you might just hear me shouting for joy from where u live when we get Maiya's call. Thanks for the help and encouraging from you all. I am glad that some referrals have came thru and that some of u are moving in your adoption process. I feel like Maggie and I are stuck in the mud for some reason. I hope that u get that NOC soon Maggie! This is just for a season though,we will have our happy dance day!!

If July is not the month,I am seriously thinking of redoing the CALL List,another words extending this contest. I will let u all know when u can enter back in this contest! July is not over just yet. I have a little dab of hope this month but to be honest,not too much.

On a more positive note, school is around the corner and supply shopping is coming soon long with shoes,jeans,and more. Bailey will be in 3rd grade and Adyn in 4 yr old preschool. I plan on using this preschool time wisely for me from inspiration,to exercise,to adoption preparation, to paperwork, to the big yard sale and blah,blah.

I hope you are all doing great this summer and having a great time with your kids. School starts for us August the 12th. Around the corner. I recieved Maiya's little Elmo DVD in the mail today,it is too cute. I can't wait till she is home and cuddling up with all of us watching how we should do the night,night routine!! Now that should be a show!!LOL. Well have a great week to you all,the FAIR is coming to town,and I don't know if we will take the plunge and go...we will see. Sometimes I think they just throw those rides together and it is expen-siave!! I spell it the way my grandmother and I say it! Tootaloo ladies and until more news...waiting and loving life together. Hey Mag,atleast we got baby buffalo and Quail to keep us busy. HA.

A little inspiration for this morning...

Good Morning to u all and I hope you are having a great day in the Lord and your life. The Lord has showed me some great things this week and it has pricked my heart and made me glad. First of all it is great to hear that another baby has a forever family,Baby Jaba. Congrats Seneca.
Insipration: If you would read, 1 Peter 1:22- Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren,see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently. 1 Peter 1:23 goes on to say...Being born again ,not of corruptible seed,but of incorrputible,by the word of God,which liveth and abideth for ever. At first I didn't know what a couple words meant so I looked them up.

unfeigned-sincere,without hypocrisy,undisembled
fervently-intently,without ceasing
brethren-fraternal affection,kindness,love of the brethren

So I got to thinking about this,especially since this is talking about keeping a soul pure. So many times in life,whether it be someone,family, or a friend that will make you mad or angry or whatever it may be. Most of the time it is someone whom u care about that hurts us. This strife is the corruptible seed which is from the devil. In the first verse it tell us to love without ceasing and with kindess. It says that this will purify your soul. This love is the incorruptible seed.
I believe that this is why the devil is always causing strife between people and families. If the devil can get a person to be mad at one another,then that saints soul becomes unclean thru not obeying the truth thru the Spirit. Daily we need to make sure that we have the incorruptible seed which is the word of God and this is Love. Love for the brethern. I feel like that I need to watch and be not sleeping.If someone hurts me,then I want to forgive and love asap to make sure my soul is purified in truth. Of course I cannot do this without God's help. Today in this world we see so many "Christians" who say the love God,but then they turnaround and say they hate their brother. That just doesn't make sense.
1 John 4:20 says, If a may say,I love God,and hateth his brother,he is a liar:for he that loveth not his brother whom he had seen,how can he love God whom he hath not seen? Love is the key that opens the door from God to us. This has been in my mind the past few days,and I plan for it to stay and I hope this inspires you all,so that we all can be what God wants us to be. Have a great day....oh and no call yet!!
