Wow! I am currently back in time, caring for a baby. Not my own forever but for a time. It is precious but honestly, boring. Not his smile or him but just being home. Today I listen to a message on proclaiming God's word to you and his Word. I have to be honest and say that has not been on my mind lately. Maybe more like whining.

I think I am in a time of a valley and need to listen to God's voice. Some days the dogs and baby make me feel like I am tied down and I get whiney and start complaining.

Today, I read a website of encouragement to a family of a man who has Leukemia. Things do not look good and I am sure each day is like living on a rollercoaster. Humbling to me who is complaining because my life is not interesting enough. So here are my blessings:
Two girls who are great!

23 years with the same man who I met in High School.

Adopting a 16 year old November 20th.

Eathan- a 17 month old who thinks I am the bomb. Who laughs and loves with gusto and smiles a smile that is a true gift. and I get to love him until a permanent family is found.

A home our girls live in

A home we live in

Moe has a good job

We have reduced our debt in a huge way.

So I need to remind myself to proclaim God's word and Word and not get so caught up in what I do not have.
