Whats this????? A POST??????

Yes, I know it's been FOREVER since I have posted on my blogspot but I have BIG news!!! We have been waiting and waiting to hear anything from our adoption agency, and we finally did yesterday! We have a baby boy in Monrovia, Liberia!!!! He is 5 months old. I stare at his picture all the time! I can't look away. He's got the most contagious smile in this picture that I can't help but smile every time I look at it! Colten is super excited about being a big brother! He sort of is a big brother to his little brother Garrett, but in his words, "We get to keep this one!" He tries to take a lot of the babies home with him from church. He's so excited to have one of his own now! He's going to be an awesome big brother! I just want to give praise to God for our little boy. I have spent the last two weeks searching for God's will and calling out to Him and He is so good!!! How faithful He is! I feel like the scripture in Isaiah 40 "they will rise up as an eagle in the sky!" I want to end this post with a scripture that I wrote on my heart when I was going through one (probably not the last) of the roughest times through this process. It was just a few weeks ago when I realized I was longing more for a child than the Savior and had to get my perspective right again. God gave me this scripture to encourage me and keep my eyes focused on His will and His timing... Jeremiah 29:11-13 I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future. Then you will call my name, you will come to me and pray to me. And I will listen to you. You will search for me. And when you search for me with all your heart you will find me." He DOES listen, and He WILL be found if you search with all your heart! God, you are so good! Keep me focused on You!
