Where do I put all of these blessings?

Have you ever in your life experience a time when you had so many blessings coming your way that you had no way of containing them? It is like filling a cup with water and letting it run over the edges. The water (blessing in this case) just run over the cup and spill everywhere. This is the only way to describe what is going on in our lives right now. God is giving and giving and we are running over! It is simply amazing, exciting and just plain fun! What do you do during this time? All I can tell you is to PRAISE HIS NAME! Thank Him in the morning; thank Him at noon; and thank Him at night....by all means, spend the whole day saying "thanks"! God is so amazing and we are so undeserving of His blessings!

Adoption update:

We had our final in-home interviews this weekend. All is going well. We have some remaining paperwork to finish. Our portfolio ("This Is Your Life" scrapbook) should be done today. This is the book that the birthmom will review to determine who she wishes to adopt her baby. Since Robbie and I are not scapbooking kind of people, we hired this duty out. It has been fun going through all our pictures and writing little quirps. We got to see all of our pages laid out this weekend. I must say, it looks awesome. Thanks to Brooke at Scrapbook Heaven in Bryant, AR, we will have the coolest portfolio book ever!

Vacation; Here we come!

Robbie and I will be crusing on Royal Caribbean very soon. We are looking forward to the break...right before baby Rhodes arrives on the scene.

Well, back to work. We will chat again soon!

How exciting! Thanks for sharing how God is blessing you. It just blesses me, too! I'm so excited to get to be an Aunt (although I have enjoyed spending time with my feline nephews!)

Have so much fun on your cruise!
Love you guys!!!
