Just in case....

Wow have things changed for us in the past few months. For those of you who don't know, Robert resigned from the church in June and has taken a job with Atmos Energy in Cleveland, MS. We are currently living apart during the week and he is home on the weekend. We are praying for someone to buy our house, which in this market, seems like a MIRACLE.

But isn't God in the business of miracles?!

I am being such a big girl staying here in Kosy alone during the week. Work has become my constant and I love it. My job has changed from being in the office more than being in the classroom, and I miss the kids so much, but there again, God has a plan.

Our adoption is pretty much at a stand still until we can get settled again in the same town! I've been the most disappointed in this. I had really hoped we would have a placement by Christmas. Obviously anything can happen between now and Christmas.

I feel like I'm full of cliche's today!

But really, pray for us. The seperation is very hard. In eight years of marriage, the longest we've been apart is when Robert went to Honduras for 10 days. I have so much more respect for wives of military men. I can't imagine being apart for months at a time. Just continue to lift us up.

Empty Hands Held High

I recently took some pictures of Madeline, our sweet cousin who is so beautiful and sassy. When I took this picture I immediately thought of Casting Crowns' song "Lifesong". The first line says "Empty hands held high. Such a small sacrifice". The more I think about that song I reflect on all the things Robert and I have gone through in the past few months. Hearing God call us to another town, a new job, and a new life has been pretty scary. But, I know that God will continue to provide for us. So, while we wait for the rest of his plan to unfold, we'll just have our hands held high.
