Marching On!

Greetings dear Family and Friends!

Well, it's been a month so I thought I might as well update! ;-) Hee hee hee....goodness, where do I start? Okay, from the top!

Well, we are in full paperwork mode! I feel like I'm "elbow deep" in it and it's just the beginning! We're moving ahead and are working on getting our Homestudy set up (gulp...just kidding)! We are SO excited! I'm going to try and include a few pics in this post too!


One thing I did want to touch on was the book I just completed reading, it's called " Left to Tell" by Immaculee Ilibagiza. All I have to say is wow, I was totally blown away by this heart-wretching yet amazing story of hope and forgiveness. If you have never read it or fully understand what happened with the Rwandan Genocide, I highly recommend this as a must read! It's amazing how the Lord can take something SO bad and bring so much good from it! Just shows you how POWERFUL and FAR His forgiveness can extend to!

As you can imagine I've been "nesting" and buying things here and there..! I think I"m going to need to clean out a closet just for all of the "baby stuff" I've been squirreling away! It is SO much fun and something I honestly for a time thought I would never get to do! I'll tell you, Malachi will be one spoiled/lucky/blessed little boy!! Ha ha ha!

So there's the update.... P-A-P-E-R-W-O-R-K! ;-) So if you are wondering how to pray...pray for us for perseverance and that the Lord would remove ALL obstacles that may arise and would just clear the path and move things along quickly! :-)

We love you all and so enjoying being able to share our incredible journey with you!

Until the next post.....blessings!

Marissa (and Kevin) :-)
