A Link to the Sermon Ken Preached

Ken preached a sermon at our church on November 1 on adoption. He originally wrote the sermon earlier in the year as a tool for himself as he was studying the theology of adoption and what God had to say in His inerrant Word. Well, he ended up sharing it with our congregation and hopefully it affected others' hearts as it did ours in our understanding of God's adoption of us as sons and daughters. Okay, so I couldn't figure out how to link it to his sermon, but you can go to http://www.oasispeople.org/ and looks under the audio sermons for November 1, 2009. Soli Deo Gloria!

Tentative Date for the Transfer!

It all still seems surreal and that this is not really happening. But things are happening and we have the tentative date for our transfer! It will be around January 18. I get my "huge" box of medications, shots and all, at the end of December and will begin taking them at the beginning of January. I will be monitored with blood tests and ultrasounds and when my body is at the peak for accepting embryos, Ken and I will be flying out to California for the transfer. It will be a bit of a last minute thing, since it depends on how my body responds to the medications. If I haven't said why we are going out to California for the transfer, it is because of the logistics of getting embryos shipped across state lines. That can be very costly and time consuming (like several months), so it is easier for us to go to them. We will stay there for two days after the transfer as I will be on strict bedrest to let the little embies settle into their new home. :-) Then comes the VERY long two week wait to see if they survive. Thankfully, we can rest in God's sovereignty and He already knows the beginning to the end. If it results in adding to our family, He will be glorified. If it doesn't result in adding to our earthly family, He still will be glorified. Isn't He good?
