Searching for G
Thanks for all who have been praying as we search for the birth mom. A quick update...
-we have decided not to show other birth mom's our profile until after Noelle's schedule due date. That way if we are picked, and we find G then we don't have to make a decision between two babies.
-G's counselor sent her a letter via mail. They are hoping that if she has moved out there will be a forwarding address that they can use to find her.
-G gave us her cell phone number and we were encouraged today by our counselor to try calling it once a day.
-Currently we are still praying and hoping that this is a huge misunderstanding and soon we will be holding sweet Noelle for good.

Lord, hear the cry of my heart
The cry of my heart is to be a mommy
A mommy to beautiful, sweet Noelle Grace
To be born soon
The cry of my heart is to bring her home soon from the hospital
To wrap her in my arms
To give her more love than she knows what to do with
God, you know the cry of my heart.....
We were told today to plan on the birth mom not going through with the adoption. She has been MIA for 3 weeks and she is supposed to check in weekly with her counselor. They have called her, the phone is disconnected. They have gone to her apt, and left a letter on the door. They have called her mom, and her sister. Still, no luck. Their only guess is that she has changed her mind.
Tonight, the cry of my heart is that we would get a hold of birth mom. That we would be able to talk with her, and walk through this process with her.
Tonight, the cry of my heart is that Jon and I would both sleep well, and while we are sleeping that the Lord would be working in G's life (birth mom).
Tonight, the cry of my heart is that God would give us peace.
Tonight, the cry of my heart is to know the heart of God.
I am not even sure what to pray for, but would you pray with us and for us?

ALMOST LOSING MY MIND.....
Good thing we have a God that can handle my emotions, that can handle my tears and comforts me during sleepless nights. I am so thankful for the Lord who is so much bigger than me.
Why am I losing my mind?
Birth mom has rand out of minutes on her cell phone....
which means---
-we can't get a hold of her to go to her doctor appointments with her
-we can't get a hold of her to hear how she is doing
-if there is an emergency, she has no phone
-that I am going crazy wondering...
-how is my baby?
-is birth mom ok?
-has she gone into labor?
-is she healthy?
-does she need money for other things? like food?
-has she changed her mind about adoption? Is she hiding from the adoption agency?
Adding to our caseworker's caseload is a frantic mom to me (me) calling and emailing all day long trying to hear how my baby is doing.
Here is the message I received from her today:
No Kristin. We have not gotten a hold of (birth mom) during the past week or so. Karen and I are going to go over to her house and try to catch her at home today or tomorrow. I promise to update you after our visit.
I PROMISE.....I am waiting for that promise....I am waiting to find out.
Think of my sweet sweet baby girl tonight.

"I didn't want to be one of those Jesus Freaks..."
...is exactly what a student said to her peers at a chapel service on Chapel. She talked about how her "religion" was something that was personal to her, that she never wanted to be bold, or to let other people know how she felt. Long story short, God did a great work in her, and know she is wanting to tell people about Jesus.
Praise God for students like her. She is not sure what she us supposed to say, what she is supposed to do, but she wants to make a difference for Jesus and let people know about her savior. That is beautiful.
This is where my passion comes in....I get to be a part of her life. I get to be a part of training her how to effectively share the Gospel. I get to be a part of praying for her boldness on campus, praying for her friends, and praying that she would be used to change the world, through changing the campus.
Days like that...I love my job.

He has always been faithful to me (us)
Through the drama of Jon's job.....God provided him with a better job...less hours and more pay. The best part....He gets nights and weekends off for the most part! YES!
