its been so long since i have blogged. alot has been going on in the year and a half since my last post. my first great event was as vbs coordinator. with of course my bestie by my side :) this years theme was "shake it up cafe". it was alot of fun and alot of work. more work than we expected as first timers. but with God and the help of many vbs veterans it was amazing!!! a week full of Gods word and fun! several kids gave their life to Christ this week.
the vantico second annual camping trip was a huge success! we stayed at lake hogan for 6 days. 6 wonderful days!!!!! the kids played in the dirt, swam and enjoyed the great outdoors. i love camping so much i cried when we had to come home. already looking foward to next year :)
i think the biggest and of course the most exciting decision we have made this year is to adopt. with 9 biological children and a modest income we realize we have some hurdles to overcome. we have been doing alot of research. we have probably been researching since may. we have also joined an orphan care ministry and really enjoyed gathering info from other adoptive parents. right now we have been aproved with an adoption agency to adopt through their ghana program. we have yet to apply to the home study agency. that is our next big step. and the fundraising. tomorrow is our big garage sale. we are praying Gods will in this situation. we have seen so much support and encouragement from our friends. it really is what motivates us to go foward despite all of our concerns. im hoping to keep up on my blog so my friends and family can follow along with us on our journey. and to see what our life is all about!
