Focused

The words to this song keep me focused Lord ! Knowing that every step of this new path  has been molded by you, for our feet! As long as we stay focused on you and your way! I know that everyday is a blessing! That this adoption is your request and our story! Lord it is a long path and at times lonely and hard, not because we can not share it, but because is such a strong feeling in my heart. It is to hard to share with anyone but you! You know this feeling Lord, you are my heart!

Laura Story: Blessings
We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love is way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
As long as we have faith to believe

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not our home

What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise

Blessings

It has been a crazy busy week! But with my free ten minuets I just want to thank God for he all has given me! I am so thankful for all the people in my life. Everyone one of them have a purpose !

We have our third and final meeting with Bonnie our Social Worker next week ! I'm so excited to get to talk to her again. We watched  a movie she let us borrow. A Walk To Beautiful  What a movie!!  A Walk to Beautiful tells the stories of five Ethiopian women who suffer from devastating childbirth injuries and embark on a journey to reclaim their lost dignity. Rejected by their husbands and ostracized by their communities, these women are left to spend the rest of their lives in loneliness and shame. They make the choice to take the long and arduous journey to the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital in search of a cure and a new life.

"Children Of God" - Official Music Video

This is an amazing video! The message is beautiful! Please keep the Ethiopian children and adoption families in your prayers . Their are some disheartening changes being made right now.

New Contacts!

So I it's funny because when I first meant Josh I had him get me colored contacts. I wanted different colored eyes. I have 20/20 vision so I only wanted them for cosmetic reasons. So for the first couple weeks when I would wear them things were a little blurry. I could still still see but my focus was kinda cloudy. I have always wanted glasses because it seemed like a fun accessory. I know crazy!


Now, I don't wear the contacts I really don't have the time or the energy to spend trying to change my eye color for fun. But It seems like God is giving me new contacts, I feel like I am looking at things for the first time. This feeling is still a little blurry to me. But I know the more I see the more clear it gets. What I have been blessed with is so much more than I will ever need. That what I take for granted every day, some will never have.  I am so thankful to be chosen ! I want to see the world God's way. God has chosen me!! Thank you God for choosing me! We are all adopted by God he wants us all to See through his colored contacts! He will give us the time and energy to see!!
