Isaiah 43: 18-19

"Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. Behold, I will do something new. Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. "

Almost done!

I have spent every single free minute this week working on our portfolio. I have learned a whole new world of dragging and cropping pictures. The copy and paste didnt seem to work for the text sections, so I was re-typing everything each time. Tonight when i was working on it, Dan said,"did you try the hot button for paste?" I said, "there's a hot button for that?" sigh..one of these days I vow to become tech-savvy! My little brother and sister know more about technology than I do! Thankfully, this so-called hot button worked and I no longer had to re-type everything!

I had a sleepless night the other night(unfortunately before a 12 hour shift). I was laying awake thinking about all of the things I wanted to say in the letter to the birthmother. So I grabbed the computer and whipped together a great letter! Dan read over it and edited today. So now our birthmother letter is done and the portfolio is just about done! I am going to send them to the agency tomorrow over email to look over before ordering a photo book. Yay! We are just one step closer!

It's crazy to think that our future will be determined by this one little book. The birth mother will choose us to parent her child based on what we put in the book. Of course, it's ultimately up to God and He already knows! But still, it feels like a lot of pressure and I want the book to be perfect.

In a couple weeks we will travel to Greenville to finalize the home study and then the agency will begin to show our portfolio to expectant mothers. We are also starting to come up with fundraising ideas so we'll keep you posted!

Thanks for following!
