Here we go...

"Trust in The Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5

The last 3 years have been what seems like a constant changing in the Teefey house. After adopting Elijah in 2010, we have been blessed beyond reason. The twins were born 10 months later, we bought a new house (to accommodate), Manning started full time school, and John started a new job. The Lord has been teaching us through all of these things that He is in control, we depend on Him for each breath we take, and we have no idea what the next moment will hold for us. We started to feel like we could breathe again back in the fall of 2012 and really started praying about adopting once more in the near future. In February of 2013 we began talking to some different agencies about what the next step of adopting would look like. I'm not sure why God pulled our hearts so strongly in that direction only to change, once again, our plan of action. In March, we discovered that The Lord is going to add to our family again, but not through adoption at this time. We found out we were expecting a baby...only one this time! Wow, were we shocked!?!? I struggled for several weeks with questioning His plan and His sovereignty. I questioned my ability to parent another child so soon. I still wonder why this and not adoption. I don't know, and I may never know. But, I continue to have to go back to the proverb at the top. Trusting is not understanding. Trusting is mostly stepping out blindly and saying, "ok God".
We are excited to be expecting once again. Although this has been a surprise and somewhat a hurdle to wrap our minds around, we are thankful and truly feel blessed.
November 29, new baby Teefey will arrive!
