As I have said before, Satan loves to attack when you have committed yourself to the Lord. Since the moment, I put my YES on the table for Jordan, Satan has been attacking. It has literally been one thing after another. But, God is bigger than my situations, He is bigger than anything I will ever encounter. Praise God that I can give it all to Him and let Him show how MIGHTY He is.
A few of my reasons to be discouraged:
This has been a hard week for me. C-Baby is sick, AGAIN!!! WHen this child is sick, he screams bloody murder all day long, or walks around in circles saying "Ma-Me, Ma-Me", sound cute on this blog, but after 3 days straight you get kinda sick of it!
Aidan started a new medication last week, and it has caused MAJOR seizures! Poor little booger has a lot on his plate right now. In addition to seizures, and many other side effect (I'll spare you the details)he is not sleeping, therefore, I am not sleeping. I am so tired! In fact, I should be sleeping right now, while he is sleeping so soundly. The neurologist called today and told us if we have another night like last night to call 911. Ugh! I just want him to feel better, and be able to sleep soundly, without seizures.
Lastly, My very best friend is moving! We have been best friends since high school, we were sorority sisters, college roommates, and now we live 4 houses apart. I am so sad. She is moving to South Carolina. I know this is the best thing for her family, but I will miss her and her babies so much, and Brandon too I guess! HA! Anyway, she will be moved by the time I come back from Jordan so that also makes it hard! I know I will still talk to her everyday, but it's just not the same!
Some Praises:
My business has taken off...such a PRAISE. I love it. It is so rewarding to be a part of this, to be an instrument for God in the making of a family. I LOVE IT!! I have met such sweet couples, and gotten to know them, their families, their trials, and their heart for adoption. I love that God chose to use me in this ministry!! With a growing business comes a lot of work, so I need prayer in the time management department. But, overall I have no complaints in this area!!
Mina is doing fabulous with her new teacher. I can't remember if I blogged about the fact that she was moved to a new class 2 weeks in. She was switched to a new teacher due to 1st grade class being over capacity. At first, we were so upset, then slowly we tried to be positive and trust that God has it under control. Well, HE DID! Her teacher is fabulous. She emails me and lets me know what to work on with Mina, she just keeps in contact. Mina adores her! So, we are more than pleased!
Michel is also doing well. He is having a few asthma attacks here and there, but overall he is good.
The kids have their first soccer game this weekend, and they are so excited. I will post pics Saturday afternoon!
Okay! I guess I have spread enough cheer for one night! HA! If you think about it, please pray for my kiddos health, my best friends move, and my trip to Jordan.
ANOTHER HUGE PRAISE:
I ONLY LACK $600 FOR MY TRIP! I HAVE 8 DAYS LEFT TO COME UP WITH $600.

Hi, Courtney! I would love to donate to your trip. I can't give much because I'm unemployed right now, but I'm hopeful that anything will help! My email is emalone0000@gmail.com. Could you send me details on how to make a donation? Thanks!
