Ever Feel Stuck in the Revolving Door??

That's what life has felt like the last 2 months! I can't believe some of the stupid things I've done....like forgotten to send lunch with Ben and Hosanna...not once! but several times....!! The poor Stebbing children were saved from hunger by their teacher, Mr. McClain as least once.....thank you, Mr. McClain!! Almost forgotten to pick them up once! I've been working at the store too much(although the extra money has been a blessing) We just had a bridal shower for my daughter, Jessi's best friend Erin, who is getting married in three weeks....It was wonderful....but oops need to go and get Jonathan fitted for tux as he is their ring bearer...God, I hope he doesn't refuse to walk down the aisle!! In between all this....GET THAT DOSSIER DONE.....WE DID!..It's in and has been translated!! Yeah it can go to China!!!.....what??!! oh...really!?? oops! I FORGOT TO SEND IN OUR FAMILY PICS!! UGH!...But they are going overnite UPS...so hopefully our dossier WILL BE ON IT'S WAY TO CHINA TUESDAY AFTERNOON!!
Oh, and Jake is graduating from High School this June...the 5th to be exact, with his open house on the 14th.....oh and this week Luke turns 21!!! And next week Hosanna turns 14......aaannnddd next week Jake turns 18!!!! that means a family birthday party thrown in somewhere in the next two weeks...whew....and everyone wonders why I stay up until 1,2 or 3 in the morning....Lord, please stop the revolving door...long enough so I can step out for some time with You...Forgive me for not spending my time with You....it's easier when I'm tired to go to the TV or computer...or magazine...bring me to Your Word bring me into the Living Water to rest and revitalize..to put your strength in me.....I love you, Lord...

OUR DOSSIER IS SENT!

Well, after a lot of running around collecting paperwork.....our dossier has been

sent, via UPS, to our agency in Portland, Oregon!! Yeah!! Now we wait...and wait until we receive our LOC, which is a letter of confirmation, signed by us saying YES WE WANT TO ADOPT MAGGIE! That should take about 12-17 weeks(it will take about 2-4 weeks to translate, and authenticate our dossier to send to China, before we staart our LOC wait!) Please pray for us as we wait, that we would have peace and contentment as we look forward to going and bringing our daughter home! We love you and are grateful for your love and prayers! If you haven't sent your fabric for Maggie's quilt.....read the sidebar on the right and shoot me an email! God bless,
