We had a great Thanksgiving weekend spending time together and with family! We both worked together in the kitchen to prepare our side dishes we contributed and we had Thanksgiving lunch at Jeremy's parents house. There were a total of 18 of us! After we ate ourselves into a colma we all hung out and spent time together. Jeremy had family here from Tennessee, so it was nice to spend some time with them! In the evening we did a little black Friday shopping and got a great start to our Christmas shopping! Friday morning we did a little more shopping and then met up with Jeremy's family again for lunch with some more friends. All in all is was a nice weekend spending time together!
Just wanted to share a little bit about what has been on my heart lately (Janine). It seems that every day I feel more and more confident about our decision to go with adoption. Even though it is a crazy rocky roller coaster ride, there is no doubt in my mind that this is the road we are supposed to be on. It feels like everything we both have gone through has been to prepare us for this. My faith has also been growing immensely! God is definitely working in our lives in so many ways. We have been getting more involved in our amazing church, and I have not been this in love with my church since I was in high school! Jeremy and I have also been inspired lately that when all this is over we want to start some sort of ministry or something in support of adoption. It seems that even with all the resources out there right now birthmoms and prospective adoptive parents are still given the run around and are still so confused as to where to turn and what to do. We are learning so much about this process and we want to help others who are going through it also. Please continue to pray for us, we are so grateful for all the amazing support we have been getting, even from complete strangers! People never cease to amaze me! We are both learning so much about each other, and ourselves through all of this. Even though we have had so much heartache, loss, financial stress, confusion, and anxiety, we have never been so sure that God has something amazing in store for us. We are ready to be His servants and go wherever we are led! Please continue to pray for our little miracles, wherever they are right now pray that they will feel safe and loved and that they will never give up! Thank you and God Bless! |
