The foundation is layed

Thanks to God and my beloved wife the big red tape has been laid. They both have done a remarkable job. As we started out on this journey the girls, Michele and I had our expectations of what was going to happen. Our desires was a girl younger than our youngest. her named will be Grace. Then God showed us who is in control and why we are doing this. To please him not us. He restructured our hearts and planted two little boys, brothers, ages 4 and 1. Solomon and Elijah. We are on overload with excitement. Never considered boys until God said BOYS! We all prayed about it overnight and when morning came the girls were up planning how we had to paint rooms. Move mom and dad into the little room and give the boys the big room. Katie to move into Rosalie's room and Faith gets to stay status quo. The paint started flying, lofts being made, and the reorganizing our quaint little farm house. Oh yes, one bathroom.
This entire journey has been laid one step at a time by the good Lord Jesus Christ. So many experiences to show us he wants so much more for us than we can imagine. He is doing it step by step. Building our faith in him. He is teaching us embrace the journey not the destiny. That is where his learn tools get laid in our family. We as a family have never been closer even in HARD times. What a beautiful gift from the Lord. Praise the Lord in all times. The road is long and winding and I will share more later. Time for bed. Blessings to all. Dad of Seven
