My choice...



We received an email, and then a phone call, from All God's Children today...to let us know that we will not receive our pink slip until next Monday!

At first I felt VERY disappointed...even shed a few tears! If you have been following along, we have been expecting this pink slip for the last 2-3 weeks! And now, another weekend without a travel date. THEN....then it really hit me...I have a choice today. I can choose to focus on this "delay," OR, I can choose to focus on these beautiful pictures that we received today. Micah is obviously happy and healthy and doing very well.

Tonight I am choosing to PRAISE GOD for His faithfulness in taking care of Micah...and I am choosing to PRAISE GOD that in just a few more days we will have our travel date! It really is my choice...and today I choose PRAISING over pouting.

Stay tuned.

and a season for every activity under heaven..."

First of all let me say that Micah is absolutely beautiful. Michelle, this has been a long and tough road for you but it is coming to a very happy ending soon.

God's timing is perfect. Even through your experience I am learning that in my own life. God is in control and His timing is perfect. What a simple,but hard lesson to learn especially when it is waiting for such a beautiful blessing like Micah. We choose to rejoice with you and continue to Praise the Lord for the day you will get to hold your happy,healthy,beautiful son.
Love,
Carrie
