I am going to start a weekly blog post that reflects on God's faithfulness throughout the week-a chance for me to look back on what God has specifically done for me this week. I encourage you to do the same!
My first Faithful Friday y'all:
1- Background checks are back!
If you've talked to me in the past month- you know what a huge relief this is! About a month ago we received notification from our agency that my background check was either rejected or refused or lost in translation (ironic considering my occupation and that the extent of my "criminal" background is a speeding ticket 4 years ago)-but I digress- either way I had to go get fingerprinted.When we began this process we were adament on getting our paperwork completed quickly, so you can imagine my frustration upon finding this out 3 months after the fact. But I did it regardless.
So we prayed for a quick turnaround-as the average time it takes the state is usually 8-12 weeks. We received word on Monday that both background checks were back and approved! Praise the Lord!
What does this mean? Not only can we present to potential birth moms-we can bring a baby home should the opportunity present itself! :)
2- First get together with my team!
I have been coaching cheer at my Alma mater for 6 years now and it has its ups and downs but I love it! I prayed a great deal about the direction God has wanted me to take regarding continuing to coach and it's been clear that I am where I need to be. We got together on Tuesday for an open gym practice and an overwhelming sense of joy overcame me. I am so thankful for the opportunity to coach and impact high schoolers, all while doing the sport I love!3-High school reunion plans are underway!
10 years/ Holy smokes when did I get old?4-Adoption Garage Sale Fundraiser
I will eventually write an entire post on this but-Holy guacamole is the Lord faithful! Joe and I had a crazy idea about two months ago to hold a donation sale to attempt to raise some $$ to cover fees. We put the word out and prayed that our family and friends would consider us as they did some spring cleaning. We were not even remotely prepared for the outpouring of love and support through donations we have received! I lost track of the number of families contributing around 25! People have willingly and joyfully emptied their closets, basements, and storage units to help us-to eventually bring our baby home-to help someone none of us even know!How amazing is that?
5-18 days left of school!
Don't get me wrong-I LOVE my job-but there's no tired like end of the year teacher tired!I always have a hard time sending my kiddos on but they're ready! Bring on summer!!
