Today's prayer requests will focus on our boys, Oliver and Wyatt. They will be staying with Josh's parents and are thrilled to get to go the "forest" (as they call it) or country as Josh's parents live in small town near Texarkana, TX. They were told they get to have 2 Christmas' with the first being in Atlanta, TX with Nana and Pawpaw. Oliver has been packed for days (only toys) so we'll need to remedy that situation tonight. We're asking for prayers over their little hearts as we will be gone for 9 days (longest stretch we've ever left them) and for this mommy heart as the thought of being apart from those boys just breaks it! We are together 24/7 and I will miss them terribly but understand that this will be not just necessary but healthy for us to be apart for a bit! We know they are in capable hands and ask for prayer for Nana and Pawpaw as they take on a 2 and 4 year old FULL time for the next 9 days RIGHT UP UNTIL CHRISTMAS! Here are more specifics...
-for the boys hearts to be secure in our love for them as we're gone for 9 days
-for the health of the boys as they're both coming down with colds
-for a peace for them during the wait
-for the upcoming transition as we add a third child through adoption
-for good behavior while we're gone (not perfect, just good through the transition of being away from home!!)
-for Nana and Pawpaw to be healthy and have an extra dose of energy to adjust to their new visitors
I know the enemy is trying his best as today the craziness has begun. From a last minute trip to Target where I thought my purse had been taken (literally in my zoned out state of trying to remember things I began putting my things in the wrong, empty cart near my correct cart with purse in it and I walked the ENTIRE store and filled up other basket before realizing purse was not there. Employee found empty basket with my purse after I talked to manager. Loopy Lou!!!) to Wyatt coming down with a fever and getting a phone call to come pick him up early from preschool! I know the enemy would love nothing more than to wreck my attitude and steal God's glory but we're praying that does not happen! Please pray with us that God would be glorified through this entire journey!
Psalm 100:4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give
thanks to him and praise his name.
thanks to him and praise his name.
Because of Him,
