Praise God!

Last night I was sick. I haven't really felt that stomach tightening and churning since I was working... so I blame it on stress. And yes, this weekend has been very stressful.

I still feel stressed out in my head and in my heart... but I know God is working all things for His good. And I praise Him that things are looking better. I just don't know what will happen, and that's where I need to hold onto my faith.

I wanted to tell you about some great things happening in my "preparing for foster care" life. The room is finished... it's all yellow (pictures to come soon!). I am getting some great things off of Freecycle and from friends and family. I picked up an excesaucer, swing, bouncy seat (I already have one, so we'll see...), clothes, shoes, toys, a ride on toy, sippy cups, and much more today. A friend from church (she's also much like a sister) gave us a booster seat with a tray, so we will use that as a high chair. I picked up an antique, wooden night stand last night and I'm working on painting it from a golden yellow to the same yellow of our walls. I am just realizing how blessed we are to have people all around us helping us out. I am enjoying see God put pieces together for us, so we don't have to spend extra money. What a blessing!

I have another excesaucer in the garage that I will use in the basement. I also have a toy box in the garage that my dad and I will fix up and paint (I got it out of somebody's garbage during spring clean up week!). I have a stroller in REALLY good shape that we'll use. It's just never ending!

So that's my excitement for today. Praise God!
