How things change!!!

Okay, what's been going on with us? Well...a couple weeks ago we were asked if Zech needed a brother...that has a sister. This request came from a relative by marriage whose sister has custody of her 3 yr old grandson and 1 yr old granddaughter. She has been diagnosed with a terminally ill disease. Well, we prayed about it. Talked about it. Asked people for advice, and decided that this was the right thing to do and so, we will do it. We were suppose to pick them up today, but the people who are helping take care of them now are having a really hard time, they asked for one more week. We totally put this in God's hands, so what will be, will be. If God chooses for us to have 2 more children, then we become a family of 7! If he chooses for this to be a time that we help 2 children while their mother gets help, then we will stay a family of 5, but will have been blessed by helping. Sorry to keep everyone wondering, but we have had LOTS to be doing trying to get ready! Oh, I also wanted to note that I spoke with the school and our SW for Zech, and all parties agree that it would benefit Zech. I think they think he might be getting a little too spoiled :)............no way ;) ! So, I can't believe how much my life has changed in 1 year!! Life is Good!

Please Remember this.

I was reading another blog that really touched me. Tom and I are in the process of making a BIG decision, how much more confirmation do we need?!! So, those who wonder why we do the things we do, here are some words for you:

35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,
36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
'37 Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?
38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?
39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' Mt. 25:35-40
