Terrific Tuesday!!

Tuesday was the most beautiful Day!!!Free Day!!So we all went down for breakfast then had to run to the store . We had decide to go back to the Hilly Park today!!It is absolutely beautiful with all the chinese New Year Decorations!! We had a great time!Got ice cream and spend along time here.Afterwards come back  and Madison and the rest of the kids had some swimming fun!The pool is HUGE COMPLETELY AWESOME!!!! They had a blast!We'll I wouldn't say Aubrey had a blast but she liked it she was just extremely scared because she couldn't stand even in the shallow end.She finally let Baba and Madison pack her around some so she was happy with this but still very scared.Madison will have her loving it in know time!!Noah he's a little fish just like Madison and Mia!He could swim for hours. Baba got cold so when he got out Noah and Aubrey had to.Then They were freezing so baba took them to the room to change while I stayed down with Madison and her friend!!I have met some amazing christian couples who I wish lived closer!But we plan on keeping in touch thru facebook.It's nice to talk with people who really understaand how you feel about adoption! And dont ask DONT YOU HAVE ENOUGH CHILDREN? Funny because there is only a handful of couples here adopting for the first time.All the rest of us have two, three and some have more. I just love how our awesome God has placed such a love for these precious children in so many hearts.I have to fight back my tears daily because I'm overwhelmed with the joy it puts in my heart!!!! So before you ask and I know you want to???Are you done?Don't you have enough children? You know Gene and I ask ourselves this after picking up Aubrey and I said I don't know!We'll as the weeks have went on I really don't think I am done!How can you be done when there are sooooo many precious children that just need that one person to give them a chance at life? I have seen so many beautiful children here!!Wish I could take them all!!! You know you would just have to be in my shoes to understand!!! Material things just don't mean the same to me as they did years ago.It's just not about that.I don't care that I'm not driving a new sporty car anymore or that I dont live in the fanciest neighborhood.Doesn't bother me at all what people say or think!! I have far more blessings than I ever had or got from that STUFF!!That's all it is STUFF!!! But I have beautiful children who are healthy and HAPPY!!And feel they have meaning and belong!! The smiles and laughter over the smallest things we take advantage of.thats what it's all about!!If you've ever thought  about adoption? But your scared or think you just can't afford it!!The REWARD is FAR FAR GREATER than the paperwork! And if it's God's will HE WILL make a way!!Everyone can fundraise .No it's not fun and some people definitely don't love seeing you come around but!!Just think about what your reward is in the end! So PRIDE!IT HAS TO GO! You have to worry about what God thinks about you and know one else.Don't get me wrong I love all my friends and family. But I used to care if I wasn't in a super nice car or if I didn't shop at the mall for $$$$$$  dollars worth of clothing. So glad God opened my eyes and showed me what was really important!! Because folks in the end what he thinks is all that will matter anyways. So try and be happy and think of others sometimes.How you can make someone else smile!Love and Blessings Lisa
