Pray For All Things: All Things Isaac

Matthew 25:40-46

40 "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' 41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' 44 "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?" 45 "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' 46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

All Things Isaac

I realized that I haven't "officially" announced that Isaac is ours on the blog. We got the call February 2nd while setting up for our first garage sale. Since then we've gone into bring Isaac home mode. We had a fantastic garage sale that weekend that brought in $2,300 in sales and donations. WOW!! Praise the Lord!!

We had our homestudy visit last Thursday and I feel so silly for worrying about it like I did. It couldn't have gone any better. We should be homestudy approved next month!

I'm finding it hard to balance my emotions between wanting time to hurry up so that it's time to go get our boy and wanting it to slow down so I can savor every moment with Andrew and Olivia.

We knew in our hearts that Isaac wouldn't come home this year, but I guess we were hoping that maybe just maybe he'd be home by his 2nd birthday. Outside of a miracle (and I do believe in miracles) he won't be home this year. So until I see him in person I will hang on to what I do have.
