Not much happening these days..except for some major SNOW!!! The Chinese New Year begins and I am told that all of the government offices close down for two weeks. That being said, I am expecting to hear nothing until March, as far as the adoption goes...However, I am learning some cool things about the CNY in traditions and their culture.
I come to you tonight with a huge prayer request. Please, if you feel led to, pray for me to please the Lord in all of this. Specifically, I am wondering how in the world I will be able to show a deaf child the Lord. How will Jace ever grasp in fullness,--God? How do I communicate and indescribable, incomprehensible God? This prayer request has been on my heart for a long time. Now, I know that none of us can completely understand the fullness of God, but I really need God's provision on this one.
On another note, we have a different real estate agent who is working very hard to sell our home for us. Our original plan was to sell our home so that we could have a real backyard for our kids and for our camper. Now, we NEED to sell so that we can 'downsize' a bit (which sounds really funny when we're adding another child) and have a little extra play money every month. We are looking at some existing homes this Sunday. I hope we find a 'gem' soon! By moving out of this development and into an established neighborhood, we can save quite a bit of money every month. HOA fees are crazy, not to mention the rules and regulations! So you see, we could use prayer on this too!!!
Thanks in advance for this!! I know many of you will pray!!
Blessings,
Shannon
