  • Jeremiah23This is what the LORD says: "Let not the wise man gloat in his wisdom, or the mighty man in his might, or the rich man in his riches. 24Let them boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the LORD who is just and righteous, whose love is unfailing, and that I delight in these things. I, the LORD, have spoken!


    OH Father the next weeks/months are gonna be hectic.  And the only only way I can handle them is for you to carry me through them.  Please HELP!  Don't let me forget to delight in you to rest in you during the hurry and skurry.  Please protect J as he lives in the foster home.  And please, let us cut a mountain of red tape miraculously fast.  I need you Lord.  He needs you.  Please don't let us wait 6 months or 9 months or whatever.   He needs a permanent home.


    Please show us how/when to tell the "big" kids about the new brother & the possibilities of him coming to live with him.  And please Lord let them handle the new baby smoothly and with joy.  Help me to treasure the moments of three children before another one comes bounding into our life.


    Help us to be extremely wise with finances.  We're gonna be cutting pennys 3 ways for awhile.  Our backbedroom needs to be finished YESTERDAY.  Father, I pray that you would give us the wisdom, strength, and money needed for this.  The biggest thing of course is the new floor. 


    Put it on peoples hearts to help us with our "barn" raising.  And let things go super duper smoothly.  I love you.  I love your answers.  I want the baby in my arms so badly.  Amen


    Many, many, many things to do.  Dr's checkup for Rob, TB test & aids test for him.  Criminal background checks (again) Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork.


    The first step is several phone calls.  Please Lord, let the women be in their offices, and things to go extremely smoothly!  TIA   After that I'll find out the second step....show us Lord, please.


    The first step for the house is to relocate the junk thats in the Lean-to.  I'd like to do that today if at all possible.  Please give me the energy. 


    I love you Lord.  you are in control of all, and in all.  I give you this baby's life, my son I hope.  And ask you to prepare the way before us.  And make our paths straight.  And let us enjoy our other kids in the midst of this.


    Thank you for the fun time taking the kids to the restaurant at lunch.  They were hillarious--even if we did have the worlds worst worst waitress.  Thank you for the snuggle time even in the midst of my grumps.   I LOVE YOU! Tonia

  • Good luck with EVERYTHING Tonia.

    I am praying all will go smoothly

  • Tonia I didn't understand your blog yesterday...you are getting another baby! That's great. Sometimes I am a little dim-witted. Hoping everything goes well. I think you have someone watching out for you!

  • Father I lift up Tonia and Rob, give them your peace in their hearts. May they be joyful in all that they do. May you just bless this that the baby will be in their home quickly. Father cut the red tape to give this little boy the home that love him already, who has their hearts open for him.

    Father I also pray for what is in Tonia's heart that you would make it possible.
