Need Sleep,,,,,

We leave in 3 hours to head to the airport and make our way to Taiwan.  I am so excited about visiting a new country!!  It's late and I'm exhausted, so I don't have much to write and even if I did I don't think my mind would be working at it's highest potential. ;)  I am overwhelmed by the fact that on Sunday morning I will be holding my second son.  God is wonderful!  I mean that, not because of the blessings in my life, that I know can only come from Him.   I would serve Him and surrender my whole life to Him just because of the gift that was given when Jesus hung on the cross.  However, God is such a good Heavenly Father that His love is so great for all His children.  I know that when I am holding my son and Dave and I are in the moment, God will be in that moment with us.  He will be with us looking with eyes of delight for His gift in our lives.  The Word says, that He delights in the prosperity of His servant.  I really believe.  I delight in giving gifts to Aiden, I can't imagine the joy the Father has with us.

Well, I am off to try and get a couple of hours of sleep or I wouldn't be a very good "travel buddy" for Dave.   I hope to post pictures from Taiwan.  

Thank you, Jesus

I have made it a way of life to always be in remembrance of what my Savior did for me, for us, for the world. However, during this time of year when we celebrate the Resurrection, when we celebrate when the Veil was torn....I am in complete awe of my Father and the the sweet love of Jesus.  We have this weekend to celebrate, because of Love.  He is love and all that the Father has done for us is because of Love.  It is really overwhelming when we actually sit and meditate on it.  The whole cross experience was look at with joy and a deep love.  

So, as you celebrate and have fun dying eggs and creating Easter memories, celebrate like you never have on this Resurrection Sunday!!  

Taiwan Here we Come!!

I haven't been able to post about some very exciting news per the request of friends, but I figured timing is close and well, only 15 people follow my blog, now would be a safe time.   Drum roll please.... We leave next Friday to pick up and bring home our 2nd son!  Ethan Matthew will be coming home from Taiwan with us in about a week.  Woo-hoo!!!   We were matched with Ethan back in November, after we were told six weeks earlier that the foster home had no babies and even if they did we were on the bottom of the list.  The whole process to bring Ethan home has been a miracle that could only be orchestrated by the sovereign hand of God.  He is 6 months old and we can't wait to hold him!!  

Hopefully, I will be able to update my blog as we travel to Taiwan next week.   We will only be gone for a few days.
