A Little about us

With this year quickly coming to a close I thought I would recap it. It has been an amazing year and I can't believe how fast it has gone. We have added a nephew on one side of the family and a niece on the other. We have watched our 2 year old toddler turn into a 3 year old little boy. We finally figured out Greyson's coughing issue and while he was diagnosed with asthma we are so thankful that we have access to great care and he is doing much better. We have seen God's faithfulness in all areas of our life but especially with the adoption. We continue to work on the house and  after 3 years of living here I can finally say that the main floor is done, alhtough I will still continue to shop for house stuff. :) Ron has taken over alot more responsability at Cook's and QPP is thriving and really picking up steam. I continue to work 1 1/2 day a week and love it. We got to travel a little and take our first "mini family vacation" to the Detroit Zoo. Ron and I celebrated 7 years of marriage. We have made some new friends through the Kiwanis group Ron has joined and enjoy building relationships with them. All and all it has been a great year!

 Last year at this time was when I was really struggling with having another baby and feeling like adoption was the way to go,  Ron got me this book: An adoption Story. That book got the ball really rolling and it was less than one year ago that we decided to adopt. In that respect I think everything has gone smoothly. All of our paperwork is done and sent to Korea and we just wait for that phone call. What a difference 12 little months make! I am so curious to see what God has in store for us this coming year!

Psalm 100:5 For the Lord is good,His steadfast love endures forever,and His faithfulness to all generations.

Here are a few pics from  2011:

A little unsettled

Well Kim Jong Il has paseed away. Everytime I turn on the t.v. or open my computer there is some story about him. The news says that his death could cause uproar and unrest in that part of the world. We now have to worry about China and how they will respond to this, will America show support and send a represenative if invited to the funeral? Will South Korea and North Korea meet and talk or will the division between the two countries worsen? Its unsettling to think about these things and not just because I have a little person on that side of the world that I am dying to meet. It is times like these that I think about people who do not have Jesus as their Hope - A confident expectation of good. This world has got a lot of yuck in it and yet daily I find things that amaze me and make me give praise and adoration to God. I'm not going to say that Im not a little nervous about all of these things going on in Korea, I am but I do have hope in Jesus. He sent his Son to save the world, a thought at the fore front of my mind this time of year. So I will do what I always do, pray. I will pray for my mind to have peace and rest because He truly does "Have the whole world in His hand." I will pray for N Korea's next leader and that he will not make the mistakes his father did. And as always I will pray for my sweet baby.
