Hey everyone, Sorry for the lack of updates. We have been on the waitlist for almost 4 months now and I continually pray for the comfort and blessings upon our child OR children everyday! Yes that is right...I said CHILDREN :) lol We have officially decided to put our names on the waitlist for one boy under the age of two OR siblings under the age of three. We feel that if it is in God's plans, we would love to bring two sweet babies home! Life will change drastically in the next year or so and I am full on ready (or at least I would like to think so) to care for our little blessings!! God has been good and faithful even when we seem to get impatient and frustrated but we thank Him for the opportunity to be able to adopt children in need! What an awesome year it has been :)
On the other hand, I am really praying about starting a non-profit in Ethiopia....please just pray for guidance and a good listening ear for myself to follow the Lord if this is His will. I greatly appreciate the prayers :)
Drew and I are doing well in Tampa....we are constantly busy with work, friends, church and just life in general! We sometimes wonder how we are going to have time for kids but I keep reminding him that all of our priorities will change and we will be busy with them and not so much all the extra activities we participate in....hard to think that we may be parents next year (or at least we would like to hope so) but I'm extremely excited for God's new adventures for the Vasquez family!
Thanks for reading our blog and I promise to stay on top of it a little more...
"For this child I prayed; and the Lord has given me my petition which I asked of Him."
1 Samuel 1:27
Blessings,
Jess
