Moving Day

So Clair is moving in with us next weekend Dec. 6th. So far she has stayed here weekends and this week a little more because of Thanksgiving break. She is a wonderful, bubbly, sweet girl and we are looking forward to having her. I am still a little worried about what spiritual yuckiness might follow her here, so that would be a huge prayer request. Also that the leaving process would be as painless as possible because her mom will undoubtedly through a huge tantrum.

Her room is coming along slowly but surely and is one of those projects that leaves you with a huge sense of accomplishment. I will post before and after photos once we are done. I have painting, scrap booking (for wall hangings), elliptical moving, dresser bringing, decorating and cleaning to do this week in order to have her room ready as her birthday gift. My friend Melissa and I are also going to be helping with her birthday party and making the cake so that should be fun too. I look forward to sharing stories and photos of this week and weekend.

Prayer is an amazing thing and God is just so cool in his workings. Molly and I prayed so hard for Clair. We prayed she would find Jesus and learn to receive his forgiveness, love, and strength. We prayed that she would make it through her high school years and be able to get out of her house and live a good life. Praise be to God because she does know Him and His love for her. She has made it, and is on her way to making a new life of her own. I'm so blessed to have seen the journeys of these two beautiful girls and the love that God has for them. Praise be to God!
