wow..I think I forgot to post or something.. but anyways.. Mr, Feisty is 3 years old today!!! it is amazing.. his heart is doing REALLY good.. Praise GOD!! for that..he doesn't have to go back to the heart DR until May..... :)...


It is amazing that he is 3, he has been through so much this year, but I see God working in his Young life, allowing him to just be a kid.. it is amazing to see God work in his life.. I love him aloe..he is pretty much the most amazing Mr, feisty..and not to mention he now says my name..which is a big deal for a three year old who doesn't really talk, except now he is starting to talk ALOT now..so it is fun... hearing him say new words.. :P......


So school has been really good I love my classes!! I was sitting in my 250 person lecture today, and all of a sudden it just hit me how much God has blessed me, how he has given me the opportunity to get an education...and how fast life goes....all of I sudden I was thinking wow, I am going to be a junior in college next year..I remember when I was a junior in high school... it his me, that God has continually taken care of me, I am not hungry, I have a roof over my head, I can buy 400 dollars worth of text books each quarter, I don't know how it is done..when I don't work, I just go to school and fully rely on God to provide all of what I need..and in 2 years of being in college there has never been a moment that I have not been cared for... never a moment that I am without what is needed... it is hard to fully rely on God with everything trusting that he will take care of all my needs, but he does...and that is why today I have felt BLESSED... I have felt so loved by Jesus, like he is reaching down and saying "Daughter, I am proud of you, for doing what I have called you to do, it has not been easy, but through these hard times you have been taken care of, never will I leave you, never will I forsake you"... there is nothing better than a reminder from Jesus, showing us how blessed we truly are......



Tonight, I was listening to Jeremy Camp's new CD, and started listening to one of his songs called There will be a Day, it is pretty much amazing! here are the words:

There Will Be A Day lyrics

I try to hold

on to this world with everything

I have But I feel the weight of what it brings,

and the hurt that tries to grab

The many trials that seem to never end,

His word declares this truth,that we will

enter in this rest with wonders anew

(Pre-Chorus)

But I hold on to this hope and the promise

that He brings That there will be a place

with no more suffering(

Chorus)

There will be a day with no more tears,

no more pain, and no more fears

There will be a day when the burdens of this place,

will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face

But until that day, we'll hold on to you

always I know the journey seems so long

You feel you’re walking on your own

But there has never been a step

Where you’ve walked out all alone

Troubled soul don’t lose your heart

Cause joy and peace he brings

And the beauty that’s in store

Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

I can’t wait until that day where

the very one I’ve lived for

always will wipe away the sorrow that

I’ve faced To touch the scars

that rescued me from a life of

shame and misery this is

why this is why I sing

(Chorus)

This song is amazing, it brings so much peace and hope..and as we are getting closer and closer, to transplant.....knowing that no matter what happens, Jesus, has a plan for A-mans life,..

Tomorrow is feisty's surgery.. I pray that he is okay.. and that nothing will go wrong.. I know that God is in Control... but pray for the doctors and nurses, and any medical staff that will be touching feisty...

Also pray for my mom, as she will be with his birth-mom all day tomorrow...pray for patients and love... for her..and for my mom to to be a light into feisty's mom life....

AND ON A HAPPY NOTE... THE JUDGE HAS AGREED WITH THE PARENTING PLAN..AND HE IS GOING TO BECOME A JAMES!!! HOPEFULLY BY THIS FALL..he will be with us forever!!

OH I CAN'T WAIT TO SAY HIS FULL NAME and to be able to post pictures of him..because he is one photogenic baby..he even poses for pictures... he is 10 months old!! (8 at corrected age) and he is posing for pictures..

All I have to say, is that in one month I became so lazy from being on winter break.. I am so tired.... but honestly I love all my classes..and I am done three days of the week by noon..and then the other two by 4:20..the reason I am out so late is because I am taking an Amazing class to enrich my education... :P..... the Class is Dinosaurs...that is right.. I am so excited for that class and to learn about dino's!!!!!!!!!!! I don't agree with some of the stuff that they are teaching me.. such as evolution... but when I went to the UW I knew that I would have to pick and choose what I accept as true information..and I am okay with that..it has really challenged me beyond a new level of thinking.. BUT I feel the excitement that I used to feel when I was a child..it is something about that class that brings out the inner child in everyone who takes it!!! I am so excited!!! my other three classes are just as good if not more challenging! I am talking Spanish, Comparative social change (Sociology), and Intro to cultural studies (English)...

It is pretty much amazing!! but man oh man..I have to get up at 5:30 in the morning in order to make it to school on time..... it is so crazy... but it is sooo worth it..

I should be in bed..but I bought a diffuser from target last week and it fell over now my room smells like a overly smell mess oily mess and it wont go away...so I cant sleep... Coffee is my new friend..... white chocolate mocha coming right up!!!

A-man is still home! which is amazing... KNOCK ON REALLY HARD THICK WOOD.. he does have clinic tomorrow so hopefully his blood cultures will come up negative..and we wont have to be admitted back to the hospital.. this Saturday he will be home for one month..that is so amazing! next Monday he will break the record for how long he has been home... since my parents first took him into care at the end of June....

Mr, Feisty has been full of D-R-A-M-A! last week he has tube's in his ears, and this coming Friday he is getting a small heart surgery to check on his heart and to make sure that his heart is functioning just fine.. to be honest I am scared and praying that nothing goes wrong during the surgery.... I say any surgery having to deal with the main artery in your body is not a small surgery.. but then again I love my feisty man... and don't want anything to go wrong.. he is also turning 3 this month.. he is so little.. he is my peanut... and is starting to talk it is so much fun to see him grow and to see him express himself..and to just be able to be a kid!!! he is definitely my little mini-me.. ...he loves himself some sissy time.. and when he wants to he will say my namebut now very often.... this month Mr, Feisty is the longest placement that we have had in the past 2 years.. and he has almost been with us a year in 4 months...time sure does fly by... it is crazy...

lately I have found myself praying more for the Birth parents of these two baby's and praying that God can work in their lives, that he can have his will in the lives of their birth parents.... I believe we will be able to adopt A-man but nothing is final until we are standing in front of the judge and my parents say his new name A-man Wesley James. and Mr, feisty we don't know what is going to happen.... all I know is we need a bigger house and a room set up for a little girl.... because my parents are wanting to take care of Feisty's older sister "Dotty"... I want her.. I want her to come and live with us she is a ball of energy just like Feisty but she is 10 and pretty much the cutest thing.... but before we could even take her in... we need a bigger house... and living in the city is not cheap... so finding a house that is just right for us is going to only be given by God's will.. it will be so much fun to set up a room for "Dotty" if she was able to come and live with us! .... I keep praying that we find just the right house..

Okay I need to go to bed, because for 1, the smell has kinda gone away and 2, I need to be up in 4 1/2 hours.....

Seattle Traffic... everyone loves it!!.. we didnt move more than 100 feet for about 30 minutes....

Sometimes in life we forget the little things that matter...
