The Doxcology

Weird name for a post, i know... but for the last couple of weeks-this is the song I have stuck in my head.....
Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts.
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

God has been so evident in our lives lately. We have a new placement and while my heart breaks for them, God has "leveled out the mountains" in so many ways. We started this placement a little differently, I guess. I have prayed-----about EVERYTHING---and God worked out so many "little" miracles for our family. The girls (yes, Todd is surrounded by MORE girls) are adjusting well. There is such a sense of peace even among the chaos!!! I get to brush hair for the first time ever!!! Yea! It is so much fun! I would love to share more about the girls, but I cant. I will tell you they are beautiful, sad at times, happy at others. They are smart, demanding, helpful, inquistive. They crave attention and try to get it any way they can (both good and bad). They are SO SWEET and will be the first to compliment you... They miss their family, but are making the best of what life has given them. They are learning about God and we are trying our best to model for them LOVE, RESPECT, ENCOURAGEMENT, TRUTH, FORGIVENESS, PATIENCE, ENDURANCE, and FAITH. That is why we praise God (from whom all blessings flow). He is allowing us the amazing opportunity to minister in His name.
