Well, like normal I am a little behind on my posting! We have been very busy around here as I know everyone is this time of year. On September 21st we went to the Morgan County Courthouse along with our attorney and met with Judge Greg Cain. This was just a formality really, but necessary to obtain Betsy a birth certificate and social security card. Everything went very well. After we left the courthouse we went to Zen-Beri, our favorite yogurt store, to celebrate! We have had Betsy with us for 6 months now, as of September 28th. The time really has flown by, yet I still look at her and can't believe we really have her! She has been such a blessing:) Last Wednesday night our preschoolers and children performed for our Generations worship service. Betsy was so excited about singing until she saw the room full of people and the big stage she would have to stand on in front of them! I was supposed to let her sit with the children she was in class with, and go sit with Todd and Henry. Well, she didn't like that at all!! She started crying and saying she didn't want to sing. I took her over to see Todd and he tried to encourage her, but she continued to say she didn't want to sing. I took her back to sit with her class and told her I would sit with her till it was her turn to sing. She liked that idea. The program began, and there were two or three classes before hers. By the time it was her turn she was ready to go! I was so glad she did it. They sang about five songs, and she did great! She did all the motions, and sang her little heart out. My favorite song was Jesus Loves Me. They sang it at the end. Tears filled my eyes as I watched her sing that beautiful song. Six months ago she had never heard the name of Jesus, and now she was praising him for his love for her!! Thank you Jesus for loving me, a sinner, who was once an orphan before you redeemed me and made me into a new creation. Thank you for my heavenly adoption. I am so glad to be called your child!
