Decisions....Decisions

Well I have not blogged in awhile and let me explain why: Ok so in the last month we have made some big decisions. I have resigned from my current position at FBC to take another position at FBC. I will now be our Creative Learning Center director which is our Mother's day out program. The main reason for this change is that the schedule will be much more "mommy friendly". That brings me to our other big decision, after 7 years we have finally started our paper work to adopt a daughter from China!!! To say we are excited is an understatement, to say we are nervous another understatement, but knowing that we are finally obeying God's plan feels amazing.
I know I am going to get lots of questions like why China? why another girl? why at our age? All I can say to all of those questions is 7 years ago when Izzy Chapman came home Karl and I both felt it so strongly that we were going to go to China and get our daughter. Even as I type this tears are running down my face because she is not even born and yet I love her and can't wait to bring her home. I have no idea how we are going to afford it but I totally know God will provide as he always does. So pray for us as we are on a very long journey. Right now it is 24 to 28 months even possible 30 months. I would love to get her by December 2010, she would make a great 40th birthday present.
