I am coveiring our CPS visit today in prayer. I just am not excited to have her visit. I know it is part of getting our homestudy updated. I am not a good house keeper. I just ask that everyone cover it in prayer and that she find no problems that will slow down our adoption. That I will have peace about the visit. That we will connect with this lady so that visits are enjoyable and not stressful.
Why is it that hearing the words CPS send a chill down your heart? Even when they are coming out in a positive way. It shouldn't be this way, but I think for most of us it is. I am sure if she wants to look hard enough she will find something wrong.
Our therapist was funny yesterday. We were talking about this and adopting and how uncomfortable CPS visits are. She said "They should take one look at your children and see that your house is a home where children blossom." I thought that was a great compliment.
I can't decide if I want to clean etc or make bread so the house smells like home made bread.
On a side note I have now gotten to talk to the young lady from AR three times. :) It is fun and I am really enjoying it. She said last night "We rally have a lot in common." I agreed. I did find one thing not in common, she "LOVES" the mall. Mall to me is a 4 letter word. :) I do NOT do the mall. Then she said she can spend HOURS in wal-mart and not buy anything. I go armed with a list and see if I can get in and out in record time. But she did say she likes to garage sale so :). She also said she likes sewing, but has only sewed pillows.
Well satan is really doing a number this morning. I had this ready to post at about 7:45, and guess what? My net went down! Now at 10 it is working again. Tell me it isn't an attack!
Please pray!
