Blessed


One line of this song has been going through my head all weekend.

Every blessing you pour out, I'll turn back to praise.

The Lord has blessed me so much on this adoption journey already. 

It is so encouraging to know that I have support from my family.  My super, awesome parents are 110% behind me.  Mom's busy crocheting things for me to sell on etsy.  She just gave me a beautiful bookmark to list today.

People are buying the things I have for sale on etsy! People that don't even know me!

Two people I hardly know have offered baby blankets and hats and booties to list on etsy.  Thank you Jody D. and Jennifer B! I was going to list them on Saturday but I ended up working all day and night. 

That overtime at work is a blessing too.  I'm very thankful for it.

The fact that my friends and family already love this child and we don't even know who he is yet, makes me so happy.  Grandma wants to know what I will name him. ;o)

I've been very busy running the daycare, working at my other job and making things to sell.  Unfortunately that leaves little time for doing my course work.  I have 6 assignments and 6 tests to finish by the end of March.  Please pray that I will be able to find the time and be able to focus on getting this done.  Right now it just seems a bit overwhelming!  I'll get right at it as soon as I'm done this post, I promise!
