God is good all the time...

Here we are, second day into a three person, two dog family and it is going great. We miss Moe like crazy but we are doing amazingly well. God has been gracious and merciful with our hearts. He is so compassionate. I have been getting back into a Bri routine (cleaning, creative cooking, and keeping track on Bear's learning and signing. As well as getting all my projects completed... I have already finished two and am ready to start 'finish' the third. Then onto remodeling my kitchen and finishing Bear's room and the guest b/r... maybe I will do our b/r first. Hmmmm so many possibilities.)

It is so much easier without two infants to care for. Not that Moe was hard; he was so peaceful and could play alone all day if left to it. But I could not do that to him. He needed interaction and teaching as well, so that was time consuming as well as his feed/ nap schedule... It was a good one but not when you have another one that is coming off that schedule and now has different needs as a pre toddler. So all that to say that Moe is settling into a new family and a new life and we are settling back into life with one child. All is well.

I heard from Moe's caseworker who drove him to his new family and she said that he fit right in. She said that he didn't cry and/or act afraid. She said he laid on the aunt (whom he originally started his newborn life with along side his mother before he was brought here by another family member and got removed by CPS.). I cried thinking this is probably really good for her heart to get to see him again now too. SO sweet. I am happy to know that he is doing great and will be in a good setting. Now when I think of the things I said about waiting for them to mess up and him coming back to us seems so selfish and dark. In the moment it felt right to say those awful things out of hurt and confusion but now I feel as though we were the catalyst that prepared him for the next phase of his life, keeping him safe and taking good care of him and instilling God into his little life; and we are now praying that God would continue to work in him and use him for HIS GLORY... NOT OURS! We pray that the parents could get their acts together and see what they have in Moe. We also pray that until that day comes that he would have all his needs met and all the love he could ask for as a child.

Thank you for all your prayers. God is good all the time. WE didn't see anything good that could come of this but now it just feels right. We are definitely on the right track.
