--------------------Welcome!

The Lord has blessed our family greatly both through adoption and birth. And because there are so many personalities in our family there is much to think about. This blog is a way to put some of those thoughts down and share our journey.



I hope that my words spur you on, encourage you on a so-so day, and point you to the Lord.

No news yet

We should be getting a case update soon to tell us if we are back in PGN yet. So we are biding our time and wondering.

We thought we knew how we would use our bedroom space when Nathan comes home but now we are re-thinking that. Ughh. Right now the plan involves emptying our "storage" room and using it for a bedroom for our second son. This also makes better use of our bathrooms. The people we bought the house from used it as a bedroom but it needs some finishing touches. We set a goal for starting our bedroom moves when we went into PGN, so we are gearing up to get started. The great thing about this new plan is that if forces me to go through all of the STUFF we've been storing. Perhaps because of our recent trip to Guatemala, I have been convicted about all of the stuff we keep. So purging is a good thing! Of course, all of this has to be done between activities so I am praying for great BURSTS of energy for everyone. :)

We are praying that things continue to move in Guatemala as they have been lately, that would be great! We are sooo ready to bring this little boy home and love him to pieces.

As we wait I am learning a lot about the Lord's timing versus mine. I know how I want things to play out but I know that the Lord's plans are always better than mine. My prayer as I wait is that I will wait in a way that pleases the Lord.

Adorable pictures, Amy! :) Praying for great bursts of energy for everyone. We, too, have been purging our house - too much stuff we have! Feels good to get rid of stuff.

Praying Nathan's home soon. :) He's precious.

Klara's been praying at night for Molly's new little brother. :) (And she says - now we know 4 Nathans, Mom!) And then she says "when can we get a sister for me, mom?" - cute. :)

Love,
Nicole for the Peppers

Praying for lots of progress here and in Guatamala over the next week or so. One week can make all the difference. God's timing will be the best timing, but now we just have to have patience. So easy to say. Nathan will be home before you know it.
