our GOD is faithful

He has faithfully kept you, brought you out of captivity. Rejoice, rejoice with all your hearts; sing him a new song. That's heard high on the windswept mountains, it will resound. Lead, Lord with unfailing love those that you have ransomed. And we will sing out as we go along, "our GOD is faithful, our GOD is faithful". --- Bethany Dillon, "Exodus".

i <3 this scripture verse

"It's in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for." Ephesians 1:11

I Saw What I Saw

My sister Allisyn introduced me to this video, and I just loved it! I wanted to share it with those of you who may not have seen it before, and reintroduce it to those who have. http://www.tangle.com/view_video?viewkey=38974b6dd52e94ba5bb2

You're ingrained into me by Him

I wonder what my future little one is doing right now. Is he or she in Ethiopia, in Ghana, or maybe even right here in my own home state? Or are they even born yet? If not, GOD is thinking of them, and He knows them fully. He already has a plan for their life.
I do know one thing: little one, I think about you everyday & what you will look like, who you will be on the inside, whether or not you'll be a big kid or little kid when I get you, and how much love I already have for you.
I had a dream about you the other night. You were beautiful, but I've forgotten what you looked like now.
It's hard knowing you were meant to do something, and having to wait SO LONG to do it. Adoption is my heart, ingrained in my thoughts.
Dictionary.com says to ingrain is to implant or fix deeply and firmly, as in the nature or mind. Yep, little one, that's what GOD has done to me. And it is the most wonderful feeling in the world to know He has changed me, redeemed me, saved me, and molded me into the person I am today. I do love you, little one. And one day, when I finally meet you face to face I'll squeeze you and hug you, and kiss you a million times infinity. One day...

:))))))

GOD is just too amazinggg for words :))

Things are happening that just speak of his "prosperous" plan, things that give me a hope that my future was designed by Him, and is being carried out as we speak :)

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." --- Jeremiah 29:11

yay!

I was looking through the classes they offer next semester [b/c I have to register next week] and, lucky me!!! :)), they offer African Literature! :)) Yay!!

monkeys, and lions, and giraffes, oh me!

So yeah, I was walking through Ross [aka the best store ever!] looking for scrapbooking things and a baby gift for my cousin's new baby Abby. I found all that stuff & then I saw it. It was hanging there on the rack calling my name :)) I couldn't resist this great deal on this fabulous 5-piece Carter's onesie. My ark just grew. And just so you know, it's hard to just wait for that great deal every once in a while - but I'm doing it really well, I think. This is the first thing I have bought since the first time at Target :))

p.s. And I'm making myself wait until next year sometime to buy the next thing.
