After several seasons, Chad and I feel called to pursue expanding our family. We have NO idea what that looks like or how it will come to play. We are just as clueless as we were the last time- when two spectacular little boys walked into our lives! YES, I have journaled how we got here, and YES I imagine at some point that will be posted but as of now I am waiting on the Lord as to when to share. Chad and I are in the process of getting all of our ducks in a row to be re certified with CPS. Again we are seeing God provide opportunities that are efficient when it comes to the training/certification process. We believe God is in control and has a plan. Chad and I are striving to have open ears and be joyfully obedient!

The future of My heart, our life, God's plan.

I feel that I have completed the task of documenting this journey as of now. I of course will be listening to God's call for the future... I am very excited to see the blog books I've ordered for the boys to have at a later date for this journey. I've had several inquiries regarding who I used.

Its Blog2print or http://blog2print.sharedbook.com/blogworld/printmyblog/index.html

I pray that the Lord uses this blog in a special way to all its readers. If there are unanswered questions please feel free to email me at keri.hoes@yahoo.com.

In God's hands.

Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him. Psalm 127:3

Father, may this family, this generation walk in Your truth. Your word. Your light! Start with Chad and I and increase our heritage in Your Name Jesus! Develop the boys to Your liking! Guard against the enemy Jesus! Sieze the whining, fear, and self doubt!

God, help me to really love my children the way You want me to and teach me how to show it in a way JD and Kade can understand.

Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer or withheld his love from me! Psalm 66:20.

Our hearts were overflowing with the gift God had so graciously given.

My heart, our life, God's plan. part 34

The week following the dedication we had a big party to celebrate the boys adoption.

Chad and I also took the boys to a prayer night our church holds twice a month specifically for healing. We wanted the generational curses of their biological family broken off.

The three praying for us were great! Rejection, addiction, and fear were some of the things cut off. Sexual purity was prayed into the boys. Leadership was sown into Chad. Love was prayed over me.

God destroyed the old and gave the boys a new, rich heritage.
