Goodness

It’s been a while…

 

I need to get this blog  jump-started.  I’ve been trying to think of a new schedule for our family life and I need to include blog-time.  If left to my own devices, I read so many wonderful blogs out there and then promptly neglect my own.  No more, I say…no more! LOL  I will solemnly promise to write often (at least 3x weekly) so that I can get my thoughts out and our daily life on paper.  Or rather on screen.

 

This week, I picked tile and paint for our bathroom.  That was fun!  I chose a beautiful color of green for the walls.  Here’s a link to it.  It’s not quite right on the screen.  A bit deeper and less yellowish in real life.  I love it!  With our warm toned maple cabinets and a warm beige stone tile and white fixtures…:)  I’ll try to post a picture when it’s finished.

 

Mr 5 and I have a wonderful opportunity this week on Thursday!  We are getting to meet the family of a little girl we’ve been praying for for a year!   There’s a wonderful story of God working there that I just have to share.  This little one is an orphan overseas and our family requested to pray for her as her Prayer Warriors.  Our prayers have been for her health, for her to find a forever family, for her safety, and other specific things that the Lord led us to pray.  We don’t have much information on her but do have a picture and a basic idea of her special needs.  My personal prayer for her as well has been that a family would be found for her to be adopted, that family would be amazing and that I would somehow know she is okay.  She has grown in my heart as a very special little one.    Praise God, a family has found her and is working hard to adopt her!  And imagine my shock and utter amazement when after connecting to this family via the organization, we discovered that they live only 30 minutes from us!  What a wonderful God we serve!  Please be in prayer for this sweet family as they are trying to get over to this little precious girl quickly.  Time is of the essence due to her needs and her situation in the orphanage.  
God is good indeed!
