This week...
- That we are able to help the kids find closure at this point, even if it is not forever
- For our friends mourning the loss of their child, and our landlords at the loss of their mother
- That we are able to find suitable housing for ourselves, and the possibility of the kids
Sorry for the late and lame update. It's been a tough week. Friends of ours are mourning the loss of their child. Our landlords are mourning the loss of their mother. And all this has piqued our own emotions as we continue to attempt to make sense of the circumstances we find ourselves.
The passing of our landlord's mother brought the formal request for us to vacate the home we're in so they can sell it. As a result, we're running around like mad trying to find suitable housing. The daunting question at the moment is...do we pursue housing sufficient for ourselves or suitable for the kids, as well?
At the moment we're attempting to keep the opportunity for adoption open, so it makes sense to pursue a townhouse or house with at least three bedrooms and two baths and at least a small yard for the kids. Such a quest brings on the emotions like you wouldn't believe. It's very strange to say no to housing that would work well for us for the sake of a pipe-dream that may not even play itself out for another year or more!
I know these updates are starting to lose their appeal. So, I'm sorry for that. I hope somewhere along the way we'll have highlights worth reading.
In the mean time, please continue to pray for the kids...pray for us...but especially pray for our friends and landlord as they mourn their losses.
Sean

Oh contrar! I don't find your posts lame or unappealing at all. I think it's refreshing to witness two people who open their hearts and emotions for all to see, in spite of what others may think. God calls us to be bold and you are. I'll pray for God's guidance in your decision-making.

Hang in there. As far as housing if you can afford something larger with out putting a strain on your finances, and IF this process is still open and viable in your minds and hearts, what will the harm be? If this will hurt you emotionally or financially, then take something month to month or 6 months at a time until you know something more concret. You both are such examples or God's love lived out in this broken world. You both are loved and cherished and we are all in this with you. Our prayers and thoughts are always with you. Keep looking up to God for your stregnth and guidence, then how can you go wrong. Right?
Love you both,

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:16-21
