In You I Find My Peace

so everything is going awesome lately...it's so wonderful to see GOd's plan unfoldingn in my life! I love putting my trust and hope in Him and seeing miracles literally happening everyday...its truly amazing what God can do.....

oh Lord my God to you I give my everything to use for your purpose, to live for you and for you alone :)

this is a pic that i took last summer in georgia..it just reminds me that God is looking down on us, even in the midst of the wilderness <3

Isabel Mei

Introducing Isabel Mei (Izzy)...

this is our newest baby...haha, our kitty baby:)

I just got her last nite and she is already so happy here, she especially loves playing with the rug, and scaring her two bigger sisters. I already have given her a bath, because she had fleas, and we all know that cant be good. God is awesome!

Living Life In His Glory

So I had an awesome day at work today....just had the two boys (ages 6 and 3) instead of the regular three kids (girl age 4). I really enjoyed playing with them in the pool and just joking around....gosh, the wanna-be mama really comes out when i'm with them! I just love it...it's great to have practice though...even if it's only for 4 days a week.
So God is trying to tell me something lately...and i've been trying to figure it out, but for some reason it's been all week long and i just keep seeking Him and I dont know what it is. Maybe it's that I just need to get a little bit closer...that would be AWESOME...becuase i want to get as close to my best friend and Saviour as possible :)
not a lot to report on here, just living life in His glory <3

I just cant wait that long!

My little chinese princess has been on my heart a LOT lately....this is so crazy, because i am only 21 and a half....i have to wait until i'm 30 to apply for adoption! I cant explain the feelings i have everyday just thinking about her...even though she isnt born yet. I cant begin to imagine the thoughts and burning desires in parents hearts that are already in the adoption process. I so deeply want to be in that place, but I know that God is having this be a LONG wait for a reason. I just have to trust in Him to guide me on my journey to her. It's so hard though, i see little chinese girls everywhere it seems now, and I just cant help but smile and say a prayer for them...tears are swelling up in my eyes right now. It's something deeper than just a desire, it's a passion of mine.

I will never forget the spring day in 2008 when God truly revealed to me with scripture that I was purposed to adopt...It was one of the most overwhelming feelings I've ever felt. I talk to my sister about adoption all the time...in fact she has the passion that I do, except for Ethiopia. It's just absolutely beautiful when a stranger can love someone that they've never met and fall in love with God's plan before it even happens. That's what it is...God's plan...but I just have to be patient now and wait for it to unfold.

here are the pics i promised

these are a few of lexi and nastia during the flea baths...and one of cristian and i also :)

Fleas, Fleas, and MORE fleas

well, as you can tell, my life has been consumed by fleas for about the past two weeks....my kitties got them and then it just got out of control all from there. Our apartment has now been treated professionally TWICE and i used some stuff from my vet for it also....hopefully they are gone!!!!! haha, i never realized the torture of fleas when other people said that they would get them in their house...but i fully understand that road now...LOL. I even have given the kitties flea baths...haha, that was a disaster in itself...i've got pics , so hopefully soon i can upload them to share..

anyways, nothing new to report here, just working and having a blast living life..and Cristian and I are doing awesome ! He's actually coming over for a little bit tonite to help me move a recliner to the dumpster (it's 20 years old and it's truly too much furniture for our apt livingroom)... ]
:)

I love you More Than Life

So this week has been going great! I've been working...working...working! But it's so much fun to do full-time babysitting! I have the best three kids in the world to babysit for and i couldnt ask for a better job. We swim , watch movies, play games outside and it's just so much fun having fun at work...haha.

Much hasnt happened this week, but I am feeling a sense to draw closer to God lately. It's so hard, you feel like you are the closest you can possibly be, and then He's tugging at you to come closer and learn more about Him. I've even vowed to God to take a week off from facebook, which started today at 12am....wow, that is going to be difficult! But I know this will allow me to pray and read my bible more, and just simply spend more time worshipping my God.

So what have all of you guys been up to lately? Has the summer begun for all of you? Is it warm where you are, or is it just barely there? If you cant tell I am super bored ...since school got out I've just been having a LOT of time on my hands, but in a way that couldnt be better becuase I had an extremely hard semester. Love you all!
