Looking forward to this week:

Our initial home visit, a baby shower for a dear friend

My favorite blog post this week (Mine or other):

"Do Orphans Need Saving?" By Rage Against the Minivan

No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):

Lesson learned the past few days:

Hope & Future have come up in my mind a few times this past week. I have reminded myself of God's promises of a Hope & A Future (Jer 29:11) for not just me, but my husband, and for each one of our children and the child that will be placed with us. He has come to give us life, and life abundantly.

On My Prayer List:

Safety for family & friends driving in our icy conditions

That our initial visit goes well this week

Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:

“Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. Psalm 25:4-5
