When all seems to be going well something else happens. This time while something small it took a month to get resolved. Chris' medical was returned as not having enough information in regards to his foot. After a lot of phone tag, letters, and finally a new medical we are back at it. The medical should be in the mail to our NGO next week. I was so excited to finally be submitted and be waiting for travel dates then this...I know it is all in God's time and we must keep the faith that we are doing what He has called us to. If I didn't have that I would have given up a while back I think. I am a planner I must know what is happening and when it will happen and that is not at all possible in this journey. I am thankful God is bigger than me and helps me to focus on we will be meeting our daughter in a relatively short time and this will all be worth it.Thanks for all the prayers that see us through these discouraging times.

We have another fundraiser running at flowerpowerfundraising.com. They have a nice selection of plants and flowers including everbearing strawberries!

As we wait for our next step we keep ourselves busy with the farm and trying to get our yards completed. Our house and yards have been a working progress since we moved in three years ago. Our lawns finally have patches of grass and plants.This year my goal is to complete the front yard and start on the back. I love seeing the progress each year and enjoy looking back at pictures and realizing how much has been done since being surrounded by bare dirt three years ago. Our soil is very poor and has taken a lot of work to get it healthy enough to grow again.
Blessing until next time!
