Random recordings of happenings around here....
Good stuff first...
1. We (the kids and I) did early voting yesterday....the kids had a blast helping to push buttons. I had a blast voting for *$?!$!%?*....I really had a blast talking to the kids about the great privilege we have in this country to chose our leaders....talking about those who do not have a choice....I had to fight back tears explaining the blessing it is for us to be able to vote....we are thankful!
2. We got flu shots....well the good part was the treats after the shots:)
3. I had no kids today for about 4 hours...and decided to indulge my lazy side. I vegged on the couch and watched a "made for TV" movie. This is something I never do....well until today....It was low quality drama and such good therapy:)
4. We have had our first "cold" days...it was about 58 degrees the other night....and we lit a fire and roasted marshmallows and drank hot cocoa. Down here in Texas we have to take advantage of our cold days:)
5. I joined Facebook....it is very overwhelming and confusing...I need lessons...I am not even sure if I should list this under "good things"
Only 1 bad thing....bad dreams from a Mommy still struggling with this WAIT...
1. I've had random bad dreams about the twins...of the adoption being completely denied, of more delays, of leaving the babies in their cribs all day when they get home (this one was a horrible dream, I just left baby boy in his crib all day....yikes....you all know how much I hate thinking of them in cribs so much right now, so I guess it twisted around in a bad dream) I hate bad dreams.....and I know that my spirit is still struggling with this wait!

oh do I get it... the good and the bad! I have my good days and my bad days as well. I am really sorry you had such a horrible dream. I hope your list of good continues to be longer than the bad... hang in there!
p.s. I sent you a friend invite on facebook ;-)
Natalie, I've had those dreams a few times... very uneasy feelings. I know that doubt is not from God and satan wants to discourage us every chance he can. He doesn't want all of these children coming to homes where they will be taught the love of Jesus. The good news is... he doesn't control the outcome!! Praying for peace for you during this wait. Hugs, Kathy
I was praying all morning because of a dream I had last night! Weird. I know we are just thinking about our babies so much that it's probably causing us to dream about them. But, we WILL have our babies - and soon! It's just one week until November 1st and then one month from then until our court date! It has to happen for us soon.
Oh Natalie, I thought the dreams I had when expecting Abigail were bad... they were nothing compared to the horrible dreams I had when expecting Anna!
It's so normal to have concerns about your children- and to have those concerns come out in some unexpected ways. It is also so normal to have concerns about yourself and your existing family.
But remember: "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strenghen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." and "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
Lord Jesus, Please give Natalie peace and comfort right now during this most difficult wait. Do not allow the enemy to get a foothold on her mind- You reign victorious Lord and you desire for her to rest in your precious hand. Give her the grace to allow the scripture that she knows to be a comfort and healing balm to her. You alone are upholding those two babies, you are their comfort, their King and you care for and love them more than we can imagine! We praise you for your work in bringing them to this family that places you at the head, that will raise them in the nurture and admonition of you and we firmly believe and trust that all will go perfectly at their court date. We praise you for all that you have taught each of us through the miracle of adoption. I thank you for the faith of the Fournet family, for being authentic with where they are and for their desire to be complete as a family. We long to see them all together, until that day, we trust in You to uphold each one of the Fournet's! In your holy and precious name, Amen.
I am sorry you are having dreams like that, this wait has been so long for you all. I am hoping and praying that this wait will end very soon for you.
Oh and on facebook...lessons won't help...I still have no clue..just pretend!!
Good thing God can handle our fears, any and all of them.
All of us on this adoption journey can relate. Been there, done that.
God, give her sweet dreams tonight.
Amen
