8 weeks and 3 days

       That is the exact time it took to be LICENSED!!!!!!! That's right people....WE ARE READY TO GO! We got an email today at 9:04 am saying that we were finally licensed and that we would get a call as soon as a placement arises (probably sometime within the next week)! We went from beyond frustrated to beyond excited. I was shaking and crying when I read the email! A HUGE thank you to Donna Westmoreland for watching my kids so I could celebrate with my parents during preschool! During our church service yesterday James spoke about doing God's work and serving God. I just felt the Lord leading me to pray at the alter and my heart was heavy because I just felt like I need to pray that this licensing would get done. Doris and Katie prayed with me and I knew God would work. The past few days we have also been faced with another difficult situation that God was testing us with, and teaching us that He was in control! I did want to answer a question that some people have been asking me. "Are you gonna be ok when you have to give these kids back?" The answer: Probably not...lol But God is my Rock! I rest in knowing that there are other children that are going to be coming into my home and into our life. I know that my husband and my family will be there anytime of the day or night to talk and hug me!  I know God is good and He will bring you through all the hard stuff and the easy stuff!
