My Ebenezer

Things seem to be getting back to normal around here. Gas stations have gas, grocery stores have groceries and most businesses are “back in business”. What an erie feeling to see such a large city simply shut down. While we are incredibly grateful to have missed being beaten up by Rita, we’re very sorry for our family and friends to the east of us.

I’m thrilled about about family that is coming to stay with us for a while until things get back to “normal” in Lake Charles. I’m so excited to get to have them here for a while but sorry it is under these circumstances. And while I’m being selfish, I may as well say out loud that this would be a wonderful time for us to get our child(ren) because I’d have plenty of help around here! ha ha ha. And what a blessing in the midst of the turmoil Rita has left behind.

Anyway, I am hopeful about the little boy I mentioned before. More hopeful with this one than with any before…. maybe I’ll feel that way each time I know we are submitted on a child. But who knows? This could be “the one”. Only God knows.

Hop on over to Stacy’s blog and let her know you’ll say a prayer for her family. They’ve recently been submitted on two girls they have already met and fallen in love with.

Please also continue to pray for those affected by Rita….a few of the people who read this blog regularly are currently waiting to hear if they have a house to go home to. Some already know they do but are waiting simply to be able to go home. Pray for God’s comfort as they wait. And pray that He will bless them immensely in the days to come.

And while you’re at it, please pray for this one year old baby boy who could possibly become our little boy. Happy Birthday baby boy – today he turned one. Pray that he goes to the family God has for him, whoever they may be.
