Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
Ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
Lyrics from Brandon Heath - Give Your Eyes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST DADDY EVER!!!!!!!!!

AND THE HOTTEST HUSBAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!

NAME MY RIDE

It's a long story but the short version is our van died. SOOOOO I have a new ride!!! We are taking a poll to name my new ride. Look for the poll on the left sidebar!

Typical evening at the Maas Home!

PRAYER REQUEST

Please pray for electricity!! I know that sounds silly but we are having a hard time getting a court date because the office that releases court dates has not had electricity.

I feel kinda selfish for asking because millions of people go without electricity. However, the office cannot give us a court date unless they can access their computer which requires electricity.

I am not always good at putting by feelings and convictions into words. So, I have attached a few recent posts from other blogger moms who do and they are getting it RIGHT!!

WARNING!!!!!!!! Don't read these if you don't want to be convicted to make some changes. If you want to stay complacent and continue chasing after the "American Dream" PLEASE do not continue reading.

BUT, if you have a desire to follow the heart of God PLEASE keep reading a be inspired to do more.

The last two weeks have been very busy. We went to the zoo, had a few play dates, two cookouts, a yard sale, and lots of fun in the sun.

On the adoption front there is "NO NEWS" and I mean "NONE" not even the smallest morsel of information. This is the hardest part of the process for me. The unknown time frame? What is going on in Ethiopia? Where are my papers? How is my child? Where is my child? I know that God has control over all of these and I have peace. We are hoping to hear about a court date soon.

Enjoy the pics. . .
