I am a 30 something year old mom of five precious boys and two sweet girls. Five of our children are here with us and two are in the arms of Jesus. Our sweet baby girl Hope was diagnosed with Dystrophic Epdermolysis Bullosa and our youngest son came to us through adoption, our youngest daughter through foster care, and I've recently been diagnosed with malignant melanoma the Lord has shown us just how Faithful He is. We will continue to Journey and follow Him where ever He leads. We feel very blessed that God chose us to be the parents of each of our kids, and we look forward to what He has in store for us in foster care!
I think we are outgrowing this van. ;) I will tell you unequivocally though that God provides ALL we need for what he calls us to! Blessings abound when we step out in faith!
We had the same dilemma with space. We were pregnant with number six and had only a seven passenger van (6 kids + 2 parents = 8 people).
A friend of ours found a three person bench seat which normally went in the back of our type of van at the junk yard, but we replaced the middle (two-person) bench seat with it.
Voila--No longer needed a new vehicle. It was now an eight passenger van! We used the van that way for years...right up through July of this year.
Go ahead and mention my child, The one that died, you know. Don't worry about hurting me further. The depth of my pain doesn't show. Don't worry about making me cry. I'm already crying inside. Help me to heal by releasing The tears that I try to hide. I'm hurt when you just keep silent, Pretending she didn't exist. I'd rather you mention my child, Knowing that she has been missed. You asked me how I was doing. I say "pretty good" or "fine". But healing is something ongoing I feel it will take a lifetime. ~ Elizabeth Dent ~

Happy times in that van...
