It's True....God definitely works in MYSTERIOUS ways!!!

If you are deciding whether or not you want to read this LONG post...let me decide for you.  Yes...you really do.  It's about to get crazy!  haha :) 

Where to begin....??

First of all, Richard and I just want to make it completely known how much we love and appreciate all of YOUR help that has been freely given to us these last 10 months or so.  All of you out there have given so selflessly.  You have given your time, prayers, money, encouragement, and so much more to us that has truly touched us deep in our hearts, and it is a feeling we will never be able to get rid of.  God has used you all to show us that in impossible situations that miracles DO happen.  Do you all know how much you are appreciated and loved by us?  I truly hope you do, because I honestly can't say it enough.  We have grown so much in this whole process and I know we still have growing to do.  God has shown us even more how much he loves us and supports adoption.  He has taught us faith, trust, patience, love and so on and so on.  So far this experience has been AMAZING!  I could literally go on and on about GOD and about YOU all in this process.  But I won't do that to you :)

All this being said...let's get to the POINT of this blog post.  Richard and I are here to tell you that our adoption is being put on hold for right now.  Several feelings I have about this.  I am sad because this means we are going to have to wait to grow our little family through adoption a little longer.  HOWEVER....at the same time, we are BEYOND excited because our agency has a good reason to do this right now.  Have you any idea what I am about to say?  Probably not...haha I was pretty shocked to hear this as well.  Are you ready?  Here it is..... I AM PREGNANT!!  Wait....WHAT?????  I KNOW...trust me...I am just as shocked as you are!!  :)  We are so excited and looking to God and asking...what is going on here?? haha.  We had our first appointment today.  I am 10 1/2 weeks along.  Due date is January 5th, 2015.  Heartbeat was strong and perfect.  Even got to see the baby and baby was just wiggling around like CRAZY!!  Our hearts are full of every kind of emotion right now.  Please keep praying for us!  Just pray for healthy baby.

Now I know many of you have questions about what this means for the adoption.  Please ask me!!  Are we still going to adopt?  YES!  we are still going to continue to adopt.  Adoption is in our hearts and it's not ever going to go away.  It is definitely a God placed desire and we are in love with adoption.  Our agency has suggested that we go on hold until after baby is born, because as they have seen in the past, birthmothers just won't pick a woman who is pregnant.  What about all that money that people have given?  Nothing has changed.  The money will stay put exactly where it is.  We are just literally on pause.  As soon as we have the baby and get adjusted, we will tell the agency we are ready to start again...and they will hit the "un pause" button and everything will pick up where it left off, like nothing ever happened.  So THAT is great news!! 

Well...I am not sure what else I can say right now.  I am just in shock, in awe, excited, etc  so if I keep on talking it will probably just be a lot of rambling!!!  Thank you all for your support!  It means so much to us.  We will definitely keep you all updated!! 

with lots of love
