We have been slammed with renovating the bathroom over the holidays, planning the Haiti Mission Trip (Josh Leading, Mimi coordinating) and having Josh's Parents in town that it's been hard to make the time blog.. but I'm BACK!!
We have been so blessed throughout this journey and once again the Lord has blessed us in an amazing way.. We have found a new home for River our crazy terror mutt. We know when we started this process that we just couldn't keep River with all his issues and raise small children. We have been praying for a long time that the Lord would provide the perfect home for him that could deal with his issues. We contacted Satchals last Resort in Sarasota and he is now No 1 on their list for acceptance! We are waiting for a "bed" to open up and he will live out his days in a wonderful environment for dogs like him. It's been a struggle in so many ways dealing with him.. How do we justify keeping an aggressive dog alive when there are so many needs in the world? We both just were broken with the though of having him put down.. where i know it would have been easier for some people.. ummm my dad.. but both Josh and I have a major soft spot for our pets. Once again I am thankful that God was good to us and granted the desire of our heart with him. What a lot of release in our hearts and the stress of the past few years will be gone when he finally transitions to his new home.
Again and Again we see God's will in what we are doing and on Monday that we are a recipient of a $3,000 matching grant through Lifesong for Orphans! El Saddia is providing over and over again..
I just purchased my mom's ticket for the Created for Care conference which will be in March! We can't wait to go and meet other women to connect with them on adoption and learn as much as we can.! I need to run and make lunch...
