I just love listening to this music! Enjoy! And Hannah's birthday!

So maybe I cheated a little bit. There is a blog that I follow of a woman who is just loving God in the moments of chaos, and in the moments of peace, saying yes to life, and enjoying God in the moments of her family activity. What an inspiration to me! She takes some of the neatest pictures of her children and the happenings of them. AND, on her blog, she has some of the most beautiful moving, calming music to listen to. I have enjoyed it to the point of dancing, and crying depending on the moment, or my mood. It is just lovely. I hope that as you read our blog, you will find peace, love, and joy in the walk with us, and as you listen to the music that I have found to be so peaceful on Ann VosKamp's blog. Thank you for your generous thoughts and prayers.

We are keeping on, keeping on, just like everyone really. Our 'keeping on' involves reading the adoption book quite a bit right now in our lives, and waiting for our immigration paperwork to be finalized~~shouldn't be too long from now before we get all of our paperwork together to be shipped to Russia. But in 'keeping on' we are also seeking guidance from the Lord on many things as we grow in our lives. It seems to be all about continuing to grow in our walk with our Lord. He loves us so much! Do you know that? Do you share that with others? I am still learning, but I want to definitely let my light shine for Him. And trying to enjoy all of the music along the way.

We are home from church today with not a lot of busy-ness going on the rest of the day. It is quite a change for us. So I guess you could say we are piddling around here. The girls are working on projects. I am updating the blog, and added music. WOOHOO~~

And Hannah's birthday was yesterday. She and her friend Laurel had made some delicious chocolate chip cheesecake with raspberry sauce topping to share at the sewing class yesterday. I had a taste of it, and it was REALLY good. And then some of my family was here for a chili spaghetti dinner, provided by my sister Anne. We had cake, and enjoyed being together. It was good fellowship and time spent together. Thank you God for answering my prayers! Hannah really enjoyed her day~~
