Spring Sunset

We enjoyed a beautiful evening, and I thought I would capture the beautiful colors of a spring sunset as seen from my front yard.

Too many to fit in one post I guess, I love the colors!
God is the most beautiful artist!
Thank you God for the beautiful world you have given us to enjoy!

Happy Birthday Kaydee!!!!!!!!

We celebrated Kaydee's birthday on Friday night. I made a homemade card for her, and we all enjoyed a Dairy Queen ice cream cake. I included the picture from last year when we celebrated Kaydee's birthday. I never would have imagined last May that we would still be on this very long and interesting journey. We sure hope that soon Kaydee will be home and celebrating everything with us! We can't wait to be her family.

Dear Kaydee,

We hope you had a wonderful 5th birthday. We are very excited that soon you will be home with us and that we can celebrate many new and wonderful things with you as a family. We love you very much.

Love,

Mom, Dad, Hailee, Jordan, Rylie, and Emilie

New pictures!!

Please keep up the praying! Hopefully we will have some good news to follow these adorable photos!

Blessings,

Angie

PRAY KAYDEE HOME!!!!

Please join us in prayer this week! Kaydee is turning 5 on May 2nd!

We are still waiting for a court ruling so that we can finally get our travel dates to bring our beautiful Kaydee home!

Just Believe.

When God Leads you to the edge of the cliff trust Him fully and let go!

Only 1 of 2 things will happen, either He will catch you when you fall or He will teach you how to fly.

God will shift things around for you and let things work in your favor.

God opens doors that no man can close, and God closes doors that no man can open.

JUST BELIEVE!

Blessings,
Angie

Thing I have learned

I pulled this little notebook out the other day, Inside I found this list, it wasn't dated but I know it was from 2007. I am in my thirties and some of these things I probably learned long ago but maybe God taught them to me in a new way in 2007. I Know our adoption has taught me a lot about faith and patience! Maybe you have learned some of these long ago too, but I know some of these little things are very important because this list still seems as relevant today as when I wrote it!

THINGS I HAVE LEARNED:

1) HAVE FAITH IN GOD ALL THE TIME! ( it is even in all caps in my notebook !)

2) Some things take time...have patience.

3) Wanting something really bad RIGHT NOW! doesn't mean it is RIGHT, or you should have it NOW.

4) Have a budget and a plan, save extra money for hard times.

5) Keep praying, Especially for Wisdom!

6) Do what is right, don't follow the crowds.

7) Having patience is hard and takes practice.

8) Even ideal situations have their drawbacks, nothing will ever be perfect. ( except God)

9) Those who take care of little will be given much
those who can't take care of little will never be given much!

10) The Lord never gives us more than we can handle!

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it!


I hope some of these ring true in your life too!
I thank God for the lessons He teaches me every day.

Blessings,
Angie
