I cannot believe it is MARCH! Time is flying by! We are still saving up for the adoption. And I have spent so much time in prayer, just to ready myself for this process. I can hardly contain my excitement! Declan especially cant wait either! He has such a big heart!

Funny story about Declan; Jeremy and I go out for an annual "date day" every spring. This time we even spent the night some where and had the kids spend the night at a friends house. When we came back home, Declan started running through the house going from room to room in a big hurry. He was going nuts! I asked what he was doing and he said, "Looking for my brother!" I pointed at his little brother, Xander, and said, "he is right here!" Declan gave me a funny look and yelled, "No! My other brother! Didn't you and Daddy go to Ethiopia to get him!?"  I couldn't help but laugh! He thought when we told him we were going on a date over night,  that it meant that we were on our way to Africa! Silly boy! So I had to explain that we wont be going for awhile, but I sure love his excitement over this journey!


Anyways, to help pass the time, I spent a few months helping spread the word about a very special boy in China. Code named "Bennett". I became extremely attached to him. And I clung to every new update I could get about him. I would lose sleep because I knew that the Lord put him on my heart to be a prayer warrior for him. It made me sick that he still waited, and waited, and waited some more! He is SOOOOO precious! Why the wait??!! Yes, he had the special needs label on him. That probably scared a lot of people away..... But thank God! Someone looked past his SN and saw HIM! Bennett has a family! I was in a food court at the mall when I learned of this great news! I could have jumped up and down like a crazy lady!...I refrained.. But that news meant so much to me! God answers prayers!!! And He knows and cares for what is important to our hearts!
