• Friday, April 25, 2008 - CPS Prayers for Today

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!

I pray that the visit will go smoothly, alot of times too these folks are looking for real families, not some that are "portraying" a perfect home life. Just do a quick tidy, and bake that bread, and then I will be over to eat it with you!!! Have a good one.

I know why we're so afraid of them. They have so much power to break up your family. Even if you're not doing anything wrong, it all depends upon their perceptions. I don't doubt many of them are good people. I'm just afraid of the power going to their heads.

About Me

Just want to share the joys and tears of living in the country with others that understand them both. I am mom to 5 children. Two biological and three adopted. We are praying for one more adopted soon. We live 40 miles from town on 117 acres. My days are full of homeschooling children and dealing with livestock. Life is never dull or boring or "normal" what ever normal is. I ramble on here often, some times more than once a day as this is my main form of socialization with adults during the day. Hope to make some new friends here.
