Peace that passes ALL understanding!

God is so good! As we continue to wait for news about the children God has for the Nelson Family, we have peace! If I try and evaluate and think about everything too much, I will BONKERS! Since God is into sanity and not craziness (He is a God of order!), I will continue to look to Him to guidance, direction, wisdom and keep giving the adoption up to Him.

Sorry this blog is so adoption focused! I do have 8 other children! Zac is doing great at Central Michigan University. He is on a full ride scholarship with ROTC, connected to a great church and doing well academically.

Em is continuing to seek God for her future. She desires to Calvin College here in Michigan and get a degree in International Development. The school's fee per year are ONLY $30,000! So God will provide a way for her to go and direct her steps. What a cool time to press into God and listen for His still small voice.

Sam continues to be the upcoming leader of the 6 younger children. He definitely is learning about household management when we have meetings, shopping to do, etc. He is learning to control his emotions in trying times. Oh the joys of being a hormonal 14 year old!

Malachi is quite the writer and is hilarious! He continues to astound us with his creativity. We have recently changed roommates. Malachi is now with Gabe and Jo is with Sam. Seems to be working out great

Speaking of Gabe. What a cool kid he is! He wants to be a soldier some day and will do a great job! He is a warrior and is continuing to learn to channel his zeal for the things of the Lord!
