Sunday Mornings are the Best Mornings!

I had a post almost completed however I x'd out to find a picture and came back to find it gone so I will try my best to recreate:

This morning started a 30 week walk through the Bible using the book study, "The Story". The youth in the church are following along too. So amazing! I've never experienced anything like this before. To have talks with my kids and study right along with them. We're starting in Genesis and I'll be honest, I didn't do my homework which was to read the first chapter of "The Story" but let me tell you this week I want to! It was a moving and intense service. He shared of the creation of this earth- the size of our universe, Craig also spoke of the serpent and how it tempted Eve to the fruit which led to her sharing with Adam and our ability to experience and see sin. 

If I can find the clip from this morning I will be sharing it on here for it was interesting and thought provoking. I can't wait for next week and neither can my kids.

I am going some where with this is after a moving sermon came the song. The one song that breaks me to pieces when I hear it, you know the one, the one for which our daughter is named: 

By the "Grace" of God, I made it through without sobbing like a baby just a couple tears. It was an amazing morning and like I said before I can't wait until next week. I always feel so happy and stress free when I leave that building. A fresh start to the week. 

After church we headed downtown for Choosing Hope's open house which was awesome! We got to see many people and meet our social worker. We also received our daunting next packet containing what the social worker will be checking during our audits. Yes. There's more than one. We also set a date. Our first meeting with the social worker coming to explore, evaluate and chat is at 6 on Friday evening. Prayers appreciated. 

The social worker and her husband have adopted many times so she knows our fears and concerns as we start our journey. I guess you wouldn't say we were starting our journey anymore, we're kind of in the thick of things. I'll be working hard this week along with my mom and dad who have answered our cries for help this week to prepare for Friday. 

Anyone-- feel free to stop by and pick up some trimmers or a broom. Just don't judge. No judging. As for our house we work to keep a judgment free zone- I need that as a sign!!!!

Moving right along- I'm loving this! (and this man!)

Blessings for a wonderful week! Find the positive in what you're going through and be thankful because there are many more in this world who are in far worse situations. 

Love-
