My cousin, Dawn and her family are here for a visit. They braved the chicken pox and drove 20 hours one way, from Maine, to spend two days with my family. That is love!
They are staying at a hotel and shortly after they left last night I was rocking Chloe Desalech to sleep. Josiah came to the side that Chloe Desalech was facing and starting signing to her. He sang "Jesus Loves Me" and "The B-I-B-L-E" over and over until she fell asleep. He then gently touched her cheek and went on his way.
Thank you Lord! I saw a glimpse of what I have been praying for. What a perfect end to a wonderful day!

Operation Christmas Child
Our church participates in Operation Christmas Child. I feel that the boys are getting old enough to really understand the whole concept of "people in need". So, I decided we needed to do one this year. We starting sponsoring two Compassion children even before they were born, so they have always been taught about the need around the world. But I think it takes kids, that have so much, a while to really get it!
After church a few weeks ago I told them about it and asked if they wanted to get gifts for a boy or girl? They all told me that they wanted to get for a GIRL! I was a little taken back at first, but thought it was precious! They have all said that they would like a sister, so maybe that is why.
We went this week to get the gifts and I have no clue how much is normal to spend on a box, but I think I might of gone overboard. I had SO much fun with the boys picking out all pink. We filled ever square inch of that thing with girl stuff. Even the toothpaste was a girl theme... ha!
As we pray over the box tonight I know I will cry. My heart just aches for people in need, especially children. I thank God for the heart that He has given me, but truly what am I doing with it? I think there is so much more I can be doing. I really need to search God's word and listen to Him, because I think maybe I am missing something. So often I let myself get busy with MY LIFE and don't ask God, is there more that you want me to do?

Wednesday is the day...
We have our home study, home visit, on Wednesday at 1pm! We also have an orientation phone call with our adoption agency tomorrow night at 5:30pm.
We would appreciate your prayers as we gear up for these things!
Tonight while Monte and I were getting some things done around the house, Isaac and John went upstairs and cleaned their rooms. They did this without us asking. They even cleaned their closets and vacuumed their floors! They said they wanted to help get ready for the home study. How sweet is that? I am so proud of them.
I hope you had a wonderful Labor Day!
