We completed our last training! As part of our home study we have to complete 25 hours of training and 6 must be in person. On Saturday we finished our last 6 hours of training. It feels so wonderful to be one step closer. We were looking forward to checking off one more item on the to-do list but what we didn't expect was what a wonderful blessing the training was. The day was filled with stories of God's provision, heartache when things didn't go as planned and uplifting stories and pictures of how much their babies have grown. We left feeling encouraged and blessed to hear stories of God's provision and a reminder that there are many things I haven't thought about and that's okay because God has every detail planned. 

Highlight of the week: I forgot how adorable newborn clothes are! I am looking forward to garage sale season and have already found some adorable baby clothes. 

Prayer request: We are very excited to be so close to "going live" and being able to start searching for a match but with the excitement also comes many other feelings. Pray for strength and continued guidance as there are many decisions to make. 

Isaiah 40:31 But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, They will walk and not grow faint.
