A Little Update!

First I want to say how thankful I am for all of you and the encouragement you give me.  I’m so so grateful.  AND it wouldn’t be possible for me to have this big of an outlet if it weren’t for my amazingly talented brother-in-law Kevin making this awesome website as a donation from his business 1EightyDesign.  You should go check his site out!

Second, I had to share this devotion that I read with Emma tonight.  Her devotion book is short and sweet and is somehow always relevant to me.

When The Path Is Dark.  Micah 7:8 “Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light.”  Doubts come in several shapes and sizes:  doubts about God, doubts about the future, and doubts about our own abilities, for starters.  But when doubts creep in, as they will from time to time, we need not despair.  God never leaves our side, not for an instant.  He is always with us, always willing to calm the storms of life.  When we sincerely seek His presence-and when we genuinely seek to establish  deeper, more meaningful relationship with him-God is prepared to touch our hearts, to calm our fears, to answer our doubts, and to restore our confidence.  We are most vulnerable to the piercing winds of doubt when we distance ourselves from the mission and fellowship to which Christ has called us.  -Joni Eareckson Tada

THIRD, I did receive a little bit of news today.  Holt contacted the attorney and said the one line answer of “I’ll let you know when I hear something” wasn’t enough and we needed more info.  The attorney emailed back and said he has asked the judge several times and now that the judge still isn’t doing it, he is going and sitting in his court room staring at the judge not saying a word but the judge definitely knows what he’s there waiting for.  Just picture that!  It makes me laugh and I love it!  He also made mention of the order being in his chambers waiting for dictation so that makes me “assume” that he has given his verbal order but I have emailed to clarify that.

Not concrete news but it really, really makes me feel better that I know they’re not just sitting back waiting for a call that the papers are ready.  They’re actively pursuing them.  Thank you Lord!

I hope that my next post will include a picture or perhaps a video finally introducing you to our son :D
