Rambling

So after a full week and weekend, the children and I are preparing to start back to school in the morning. Hannah will be in 6th grade and Taylor will be in 1st and I will be starting my 4th semester of college. We really did have a great week, Lunch with a great friend and her children. Met and spent a lot of time with a local family that adopted two children from Ukraine 2 years ago! Meeting them and watching and hearing of their triumphs and struggles just makes me yearn even more to foster/ foster to adopt. I know that God always has a plan when he brings people into our lives and I can already see some purpose in these meetings.

Something I am really pondering at them moment is this: If you forgive someone in your heart and mind but you dont tell that person and you also keep up a wall to that person is it really forgivness? Struggling with what God wants me to do with this situation. Toodles for now and I will post 1st day of school pics tomorrow!

Week

Today we went to Auburn water park. Pretty nice day. Tomorrow is lunch with a great friend, eye rejuvenation for me, spend the night at special friends house for Hannah, open house for Taylor... all in one day! Then Friday we will be going to spend time with a family that adopted from Ukraine a couple of years ago and my children have really bonded with these two so we will swim and have fun, I also get to go for a facial! I love spa specials. School starts Monday for the kiddos and me. Woo hoo another new beginning. I will begin the process of paper work for fostering next week. Hubby is almost on board just wants to get some input from current foster parents! A step in the right direction!

A little background

So, My name is MaRisa and I am a mother to two, wife, daughter, sister and seeking God's purpose in mine and my families lives. I am 28, been married 12 years as of August 28, 2010. My children are Hannah, 11 and Taylor, 6. They are the light of my life and I thank God daily for them. God has laid the desire on my heart to foster parent and also foster to adopt. I am saying YES! with no bound or limits on what God has in store for us. Getting my husband, Kevin on board is another story in and of itself. He is of the mind frame... when we get a bigger house, when we have more money, when you are finished with school, when H&T are older..... and the list goes on. I know that God has his own plan and I want to align with his will. So here is our journey to Finding Our Way( The Way God wants us on). :)
