Living Life One Cheerio at a Time

Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself  in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart."  1 Thessalonians 5: 15-18 "Be joyful always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." These were 2 verses God gave me over a year ago to help me get through the land of wait. Sometime last fall I had a desire on my heart. My husband and I had many conversations. This desire just ddin't make sense. Logic would say NO. But I couldn't shake this desire. So I prayed. I prayed for an open door, a soft heart, a yes or a no, a medical miracle, clarity. But I continued to know that if it was God's will it would happen. And I was okay with the no and even the wait. So I stayed in the land of wait  with no answer and continued to pray. You see I felt our family wasn't complete. I wanted another child. I know a 4th baby is crazy talk. I didn't know if it was through foster care, adoption or natura...

So you know what I talking about right? A baby carrier so that mom or dad can have the baby close to them but be hands free. Well #2 has come up with her own unique way.... WAIT FOR IT... She is wearing her poodle outfit (sometimes her jamies, too) and asks me to stuff the baby Jen (with the dust rag aka blankee) in it so she can push another baby in a stroller or read or do whatever hands free. She's been carrying baby Jen around for 3 solid weeks now she needs her hands free. Oh yes, until recently all her babies/animals were named Jen but now this doll is the only one who bears the name. I feel so honored. She's 2 1/2 and this creative can't wait to see what God has in store for her.
