I know I haven't post FOREVER and then I do something like this! I must confess, I have become a Facebook--aholic! I can control who sees my personal stuff there! Anyhow, I was tagged on there to do this 25 Things, and thought that I would post it here as well...
1. I am living on a farm in southeastern Oklahoma--not exactly where I thought I would live...
2. I always wanted a farm just didn't know about the Oklahoma part!
3. God literally moved us here! I love knowing that I am here because of His perfect will for my life. There is ALOT of peace in that knowledge.
4. My husband and I did not plan for our third baby. He is a very welcome blessing!
5. The Lord has informed us that our family is not complete even though we are no longer able to have any biological children.
6. We plan on adopting. International adoption.
7. My heart breaks to know that there are 150 million children in this world that do not have a mommy and a daddy to love them...
8. I wish that I could adopt a whole bunch of children.
9. I was RADICALLY saved by Jesus Christ from a life of drugs and selfishness where I am certain that I would have died...
10. I LOVE Jesus Christ with my whole heart and I would do ANYTHING for Him just to hear Him say well done my faithful servant.
11. Noone else in my extended family loves Jesus except my Dad's brother!
12. Not surprisingly, my uncle is the only one in my family that never gave up on me while I lived a wreckless life...
13. I still want my mom when I cry...
14. I still miss my grandma--she died when I was 7 years old. We were VERY close.
15. I don't have a biological sister but God blessed me with a sister. I love you Aim...
16. I miss summers in Idaho.
17. I love the smell of Pine trees on warm humid mornings in Oklahoma. It reminds me of McCall in the summer afternoons! If I close my eyes I can pretend that I am there!!!LOL :) I miss McCall most of all...
18. There are alot of pine trees in this part of Oklahoma--we live in the only pretty part of the state!!! Thank you Jesus for that!
19. I would thank him even if it wasn't pretty here! :)
20. I am incredibly insecure, and my husband knows it and loves me anyway...
21. I can be not very nice when I am allowing my insecurities to run me--And yet, Brandon, knows what the problem is and forgives me before I ask...
22. I love my husband VERY much, he is probably the best gift(after salvation) that Jesus gave me.
23. I asked God for my husband in a letter listing 26 things that I wanted in a husband 9 mos. before I met my husband. When I met him I knew he was my husband within the first week and he fulfilled all 26 things, but 3...
24. A week after my husband met me we were talking and he saw in his mind what our kids would look like--it scared him!! He turned white! When I asked him what was wrong he told me what had happened. I told him that that made sense because he was my husband! We were married three weeks later! We just celebrated our 9th anniversary! Praise God--because He gets ALL the glory!
25. I was married before.. twice. It's a good thing God can change us if we are willing to come to Him...humbly.
Your supposed to tag 25 people, but honestly I don't even think 25 people know about my blog!!! LOL! :) So I will tag the few that do: Amy, Heather, and Pam, oh and Grafted Branch if you still read ;)!!

Hi I'm Aubrey:) I found your blog on Pams! My husband and I are also pursuing adoption internationally-the Philippines actually, We have a missionary friend starting an orphanage over there this November...The orphanages there are in over abundance...it's really sad...but praise the Lord there are missionaries that run some of them and are leading them to Christ!
Saved by grace! God is so good! I loved reading how he has worked in your life, and how you saw your need for Him.
We have so much in common. Thanks so much for leaving a comment today.
You are welcome, Wendy.... I have been reading your blog for about 1 1/2 yrs. I came via Amanda! Anyway, you remind me ALOT of myself and I guess it isn't really fair for us not to introdue ourselves in those instances! How can we encourage one another and edify the body of Christ if only one of us knows anything about the other!!!?????! :) So, here's to hopefully getting to "know" one another better! :) God bless you!
