Choosing Joy....Amidst the Chaos: A DECISION…FINALLY!
http://joyandchaos333.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-decisionfinally.html
Choosing Joy.Amidst the Chaos. Friday, April 11, 2014. A decision by the judge who, 88 days ago listened to a 2 day trial as to why CPS was seeking to server parental rights for our foster girls and their brothers! 88 days is unheard of, (as it is supposed to be 60) but none the less…we have a ruling! Early this morning we received "the call" that all 4 kiddos parental rights were severed! But she was and we are praising the Lord we do not have to endure separate cases from here forward! We would love if...

Choosing Joy....Amidst the Chaos: Grace? Discipline?
http://joyandchaos333.blogspot.com/2013/08/grace-discipline.html
Choosing Joy.Amidst the Chaos. Saturday, August 17, 2013. How do you teach taking responsibility for your actions, for your choices? How do you do this for a little girl who has never seen this modeled? Who is incredibly stubborn? Infuriating to watch her her try to convince me she did not thing wrong! Infuriating to watch my other girls sob in their Daddy's arm, asking forgiveness and receiving it, knowing she will not! I don't want this for her! I want her to know the beauty of forgiveness! My love and...

Choosing Joy.Amidst the Chaos. Wednesday, September 4, 2013. Well, today beat me! Nothing major happened but it never stopped today! So, after very little sleep the last few nights, some serious over scheduing and not placing my focus where it needs to be.I did not come out on top! It was run, run, run, constantly today! Forgot to figure out dinner so we ate Taco Bell (epic fail)! Homework was horrible all around and I may NOT have kept my cool! So basically.I was just beat by this day! The good, the bad...

Choosing Joy....Amidst the Chaos: October 2013
http://joyandchaos333.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Choosing Joy.Amidst the Chaos. Tuesday, October 22, 2013. Well, I haven't written much as of late, because truly, I have nothing inspiring to say! Life has been life. We have had some highs and lows, but nothing too extreme! We have our daily routines with chores, homework, bedtime etc so life is just plugging right along! Lots of predictability and working hard to keep life simple! But no major extremes mean, not a lot of emotion to get off my chest, so not much blogging. But we are celebrating!

Choosing Joy.Amidst the Chaos. Thursday, January 31, 2013. We were planning to go back on the placement list on Monday.but instead will be moving two precious angels in.TOMORROW! We feel like when a child in going through one of the hardest things in their lives, the presence of sibling has got to be an amazing comfort, but what does that translate to for our family! But really.we are open to only this specific situation! So, yeah right huh! This will never come up! I tell you, God and his sense of humor!

http://joyandchaos333.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Choosing Joy.Amidst the Chaos. Wednesday, June 26, 2013. Stirrings of The Heart. So, its amazing with everything going on around here, and the constant chaos that I have any time to think about anything but my mind and heart are full.always, but mostly about the future! The Lord is constantly bringing other kiddos to our attention that need homes! That need love, stability and that need to know him! Yet I sit here with a vehicle with 130k miles on it and only one seat belt left! I want to take them all!
