Are You Looking For The Blessings ?

I am writing this post from Uganda as I prepare to meet my newest two angels ... As I have mentioned before when we put in our paperwork we didn't check the box marked SN this time ... Maggie is still keeping us on our toes and with lots of surgeries now and in her future we just weren't sure it would be something we could handle, but then God gently nudged us towards our sweet Joseph ... I have no idea what today will hold, but I do know that I am looking for the blessings from the Lord in it all ... THE HARD, THE JOY, THE SCARED, THE LOVE, THE STRENGTH, ETC .... A couple of weeks ago I was standing in my kitchen when Maggie walked in and said, "Mom, I so happy I have a family, I love you." I was standing in my kitchen in the presence of the FATHER weeping at this gift ... He was doing a mighty work in healing Maggie and I was His vessel ... I want to be His vessel again to love on Joseph as he finds his way w/ his hearing impairment ... I can't tell you how many people have asked me how bad it is or how much can he speak or have you learned sign language ... I probably should know all of that or be better prepared, but honestly I feel like God will direct it all ... If he is completely deaf we will go in one direction and if he is partially deaf we will go in another ... I trust the Lord will guide us and we have an amazing facility in TN for hearing impaired ... Scared yes, and looking for God to show us His blessing each step of the way ...

UPDATE ON MAGGIE ... Her scalp expansion is going well ... The doctor would like for us to start coming twice a week and it will take a few more months ... Big prayer request - He may need to put in another expander if one of them doesn't start expanding more of the scalp ... Please pray w/ me that another surgery like this is not needed ...
