I want a BIG one.
So some of you are wondering what is she talking about. Well in Hawaiian Ohana means family. I'm tired of being a family of 2. We are still planning on going to Fiji in June to adopt. But as of yet we haven't bought our tickets and it seems vage and far away. I bet you're saying far away June in 3 months away what's your deal. The answer is I don't know I just want increased numbers in our house. That does not mean I want endless visitors although they are cool for a time. I want LITTLE ONE'S, BIG time.
As far as the BIG Ohana goes that is up to GOD since we've been delayed at the starting gate for crazy to say almost 8 years. I know GOD's plan is perfect and it will blow my mind. I'm excited to see what GOD does I'm just impatient right now.

Made my DAY
I recieved a note of encouragement today and it made me cry happy tears. Sometimes you just need to hear little pick me ups. It made my day. Thank you. Now I'm inspired to drop little notes to others and hopefully that brings a smile.

2 Weeks
I can't believe it's been 2 wk since my last post.
We had guest in town for most of that time. It was a great time with friends. It just left me a little worn out. I feel worn out a lot lately maybe it's a sign I'm getting old. It was nice to have a good experience with guests. One of our first visitors left me afraid to have more visitors. The good news is that the last visitors left me with a good experience to balance out the bad one.
One of the best things is that in the last 2 wks we spent a lot of time at the beach. The is the best part of guests. It makes you make the time to go to the beach. That was wonderful. Crazy how you can live hear and go for weeks without making it to the beach. It's weird how life gets so busy that you miss out on GOD's beauty. I have a good tan going on now too.
Really life is good. My pain isn't as bad. I haven't gotten the full scoop on the blood work but it looks like it is normal. My hands seem to have carpel tunnel going on and with wearing braces when I sleep it has helped out a lot with the pain, they are still puffy but it is much better. My hip is bursitis. The hard part with that is I'm not supposed to do stairs. Let me just say we live in a 3 story on the 3rd floor with out an elevator, you tell me how that's going. Plus with guests you have to show off the sites so there was some hiking, don't tell my boss. Now I will try to take it a little easier. Unfortunately there is no way around the stairs. Even with all of that it is not as bad.
As far as adoption we are still aiming for June. It is all in God's hand. Even if it is June it doesn't seem like it will ever get here. I know on God's scale it's no time at all but on my scale it feels like it has been forever. Part of me is wondering if it will really happen. I know God is good, I guess I'm just keeping in mind that the time frame can change. I know well how plan's can change. Ultimately I want God's will not mine.
We have been greatly blessed by our church. A number of people have blessed our socks off. I have also realized that we have a great church in general. Our pastor has a phenomenal gift with teaching. In our mid week service we went through Leviticus and now we are in Numbers and it seem strange to say that they have been exciting books and I have learned more that I ever thought possible. Here is the web site http://www.onelove.org/ we have pod cast and video on there.
God really is good. Even though I am tired thinking back I am amazed at how good GOD is all the time even when I'm not noticing. I need to work harder to notice HIS goodness. My focus need to make a change from the - to the +. It's crazy how easy it is to focus on the - and so hard to remember the +. Maybe I'm the only one with that problem.

Down Again
I don't know what's going on. My downs seem to be coming more often and I really don't like it. I think that my pain might be part of the cause. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain and sad to say that lately I have been reaching my limits. We are waiting for some blood work to come back. I have been having a really hard time with my hands, lots of pain, swelling. Then my hip seems to want to keep up and not miss out on the fun. Part of me wants to labs to come back with answers and part of me wants them to come back perfect.

Spent
I can't remember the last time I felt this spent. I am totally worn emotionally, and physically. I don't even have the energy right now to explain.
