Last night on my way home from the boy’s piano practice I was
thinking about the last couple of days. That morning I was reminded that God
multiplies. He’s done it over and over again, oil, fish, bread, children,
pennies, kindness, grace, forgiveness, goodness… He multiplies it. Throughout
history He multiplies… the last two days it feels like He’s multiplied moments,
minutes, hours, He’s given me just enough time to do every little last thing.
I’m so thankful for that! While driving into my neighborhood the boys all
yelled, “WOW!!! LIGHTS!!” Oh I turned that mini van around so fast they didn’t
even have time to finish their exclamation!! There you have it… multiplied by
three. Three beautifully lite houses all ready for the Christmas Holidays, days
early! It was such a precious gift to me!

Yesterday, Chris mentioned something that God has put on his
heart as understanding. Of course this is only what our human minds can
foresee, we know that God may have completely different plans in mind. Chris
might be retiring from the Coast Guard in ten years from this next summer, this
next year he will also be given a pay raise. This means that in ten years from
now we will be embarking on possibly a new career and could possibly make less
annual income. Dima our
youngest soon to be adopted baby and Brycie buttons will both be turning 18,
ten years from next year. This totally blows me away... The next ten years will
most likely be held as the years that our annual income was at it's highest. We
can't see the future or what it holds, but we feel God gave us a glimpse of His
perfect timing. The next ten years may be the only time that we would be able
to support a big family. This race we're running seems exhausting and we focus
on today and maybe tomorrow and then God blesses us with a vision for what He
has for us and why He's chosen now. Please keep us in your prayers!

This morning while Chris was changing Dawson's diaper he was
telling Dawson how cute he was and that he just loves little babies and that
when "we're" done having babies we can just ADOPT some MORE little
babies... umm... WHAT... HAS happened to my husband!! This is getting out of
control here! Just joking, we know who is in charge and it certainly isn't us!
Good place to be though. Thank goodness for a God who cares!
