Still Praying ...

I know, I know I am awful about updating this blog but I honestly have every intention of doing it weekly it just somehow gets pushed to the back burner.  I will try to do better.  Many of you are wondering where we are at in our adoption journey and though I would love to tell you awsome news ...  we are still waiting and praying for a full house!!!  Although some days it seems like a lifetime ago we were approved for adoption in all actuality it was just 3 months ago (I guess thinking about all the years we have waited even long before adoption) ... in this instance it doesn't seem like time is flying too fast.  We have not heard any updates on Baby Fiveash, but I am assured this sweet baby is covered in prayer daily by family and friends and of course the parents-to-be!!!  We are still working on the room little by little in all of our free time ... wait I haven't found any free time lately .... guess that's why the room isn't done yet, but we are making some progress.  I keep telling myself the room doesn't have to be done for me to bring a baby home ... Nick says it doesn't matter because I probabaly won't put the baby down anyways!!!

As we go throughout this journey, often difficult as it may be, I have been trying to have the patience of Job.  As many of you have heard countless Bible stories, Job demonstrated patience and faith while suffering many trials; and our trials are by no means like his.  So I tell myself if Job can do it then so can I.  Since our journey began almost 7 years ago with a desire to bring a child into our little family, God has been teaching me patience and somedays I feel like I am not a good student at all, but then other days I am reminded by little things that God is still working miracles and He is working on my miracle in just the right time.  So my prayer now is that my time table will be His time-table.  So not sure if you've ever asked God to change your heart like His but it is a hard thing to do so maybe that will be another miracle in itself too.

So while you are out and about during your summer vacations please tag me in facebook pictures or email me pictures (pcfiveash@yahoo.com) of your location and of you wearing your Praying for a Full house shirts.  I want to create a scrap book for Baby Fiveash to one day explain how they were loved and covered in prayer long before they were ours!!!

So as we continue along, please join with us and pray for Baby Fiveash.  We ask for prayers for this sweet baby, the birthparent(s) who will ultimately choose us for parents, and for our families as they stand beside us during the trying and difficult days.  And as my only nephew says, "Pray for a Boy!!! although the gender doesn't matter to me at all; I just need a baby to love.  We can't begin to express to you as family and friends just how much it means to have your love and support and because of you Baby Fiveash is already blessed beyond measure.


With all our love,




P.S.
We are in the process of ordering a 2nd batch of adoption shirts.  We will still offer the red and gray colors but are adding the lagoon blue color which is fabulous for short or long sleeves.  So if you are interested please email me pcfiveash@yahoo.com or inbox me on facebook.  Here's a look at the t-shirt color below.
