The phone is ringing

So my cell phone rang yesterday.  If you know me very well you know that I most often do not have my cell phone near me.  It's usually in my purse.  So I vaguely hear it ringing.  I try to hurry and get to it but wasn't fast enough.  So as I look at the number it was like everything went into slow motion....except my heart and I thought it might beat on out of my chest. I saw it was our agency.  I couldn't call back fast enough.  So this is what it felt like....
If you have ever taken a pregnancy test you know those moments it takes for it to "process" really seem to take FOREVER before you can see the results.  That is exactly how I felt from the time I dialed the number until after our initial "hi, how are you?" part of the conversation was over.  I soon found out that it was a negative...she was calling to check in on us.  I REALLY do love that they do that and am so grateful for each of these women.  If I'm completely honest though I will tell you I was a little sad.  I hope everytime the phone rings it could be that call. 
Thank you to continue to pray that we wait well!  I continue to rest in knowing His time is perfect.  We have learned so much during this time and give Him glory for the things He has done!

Garage Sale - July 13-14

Jerry and I have been cleaning out our garage and around the house.   We are planning on having a garage sale July 13-14 to continue to chip away at the amount remaining for our adoption.  This amount will be due when the sweet baby the Lord has for us is placed.  The Lord has been so faithful to provide in such amazing ways for each time we had a payment due.


We thought we would send this out to friends who might be like us and have "stuff" collecting dust that you had planned on taking to Goodwill or something of that sort, but just haven't gotten around to it.  We would be happy to come pick it up so you don't have to get out in this crazy heat!  Just let us know if you would like to get out from the bottom of the pile (little or big) and when and we'll come help.  Email Annette at annette.witham@att.net.
