Counting the Days

We are counting the days until Hap arrives..We are both very excited. For me it is both exciting and bitter sweet..To know that he might go home without us...But to know that GOD is doing his work and I am here to serve..WITH a willing heart..That can be so hard but it was what we were created to do..Serve GOD..Yesterday was a day we slept in,[the girls were up later] then headed to shop alittle. I am teaching Sandra about money and that there is not an endless supply.I have watched as many adoptive families have come in and just started with all the newest and coolest gadgets and we werent that way with our son and I dont plan on being that way now. She is very humble and understanding. I give her a limit and she goes under that. I am telling you she is an amazing girl. I feel very blessed to get to be her mom. Then we went and met the other girls mothers, dropped them off and came home. She was pretty wiped out from the night. But we had time late last night[I dont know if anyone has noticed but i skipped a night] to have a mother/daughter talk that was very good. I thank God for everything he is doing and I want my prayer to be for strength to endure whatever comes my way knowing that the HOLY SPIRIT is right here with me. To comfort me in those times I can feel the weight of this on me...I need to open my eyes wider and see the things GOD is doing here,big or small. I was starting to feel alot of sand in my eyes but after an encouraging word from a colorful friend , I feel a newness today. Thank you dear friend....
