The wonderful weekend
Praise God for wonderful slow weekends. After having 2 consecutive weeks of 11 appts. and this next week we are at 11 already we cherish our weekends.Neither one of us likes to go out and do alot of stuff so we work well together. We did go out Friday night with a great friend of mine. He takes The "peanut" and I out About once a month. We went to a very good steak resturauntcalled Acropolis and then went to see a show. "Peanut" loved the food, but didn't care for the show. She doesn't seem to enjoy much unfortunatly. A friend said it could be due to her level of brain damage.Even though she is almost 16, she functions at about 7, except for her hormones. They are right on target so all I heard all night was "mom that cute boy has been looking at me all night. I like him." Of course Uncle Jeff is the bodyguard! LOL Today we were running a friend home and the "peanut" looked at me and said "OOPS" so I said "what?" and she giggled and said " i don't have any shorts on" She was sitting around in her sleep shirt playing on the computer all day. We like to be comfortable when we are at home. Have a Blessed Week!!

I love this! I read your whole blog! My heart has swelled and been moved by your powerful story! And your sweet peanut...oh. I have no words to describe the amazing strength she has; as do you. It is so funny when people say things to me that are complimentary regarding fostering and adopting. It is often viewed as a heroic endeavor yet I have never seen it that way. These children are God's and when we are called to care for them, there is more sacrifice and oftentimes, heartache associated with it. For them, for us. Not because it is awful but it can be so bittersweet. The ups and downs, the unknown that lies ahead...but it is all worth it because loving these children is a joy. And I find that these children have blessed me more than I could imagine. And I say all this and giggle because...well...you inspire me! God is just so wonderfully good as HE works through us.
