They are at it again...Lord help us!

So the evil neighbors are at it again! Yesterday when I pulled in the drive way..."M" came charging at me...that is the nicest way to say it...charging like a bull! She started yelling..."take all of your stuff off the fence we are removing it!" I was on the cell phone and I looked at her and thought..."she is surly crazy!" I told her that if she removed the fence she would have to replace...well she flipped out! She started to follow me up my drive way...as I was pulling in and then was yelling in between the houses! - Good Lord! So I went into the house told Jeff what was going on and he and my mother reminded me that the fence is on OUR property! When Her husband installed the fence he put it on OUR property...except for a half panel. So after she settled down, and she was out side I tried to approach her...she is very young and VERY immature! I told her that we have our survey and will give them a copy of it to show them that it is our fence. Well the Knuckle head that she is said "well we paid for it...it is our fence" Yeah well it's on OUR property...whether they paid for it or not! So now we are dealing with this non sense! Every year we are harassed by these people. Jeff is really getting to the point that he is now saying things...which says alot! We have contacted our attorney and we are going to let her handle it...but good lord woman!
for a side note...we called the police on they guys who work on their yard...they were spraying chemicals on our garden after Jeff had told them to stop and his response was that "his customer" told him to do it and he is going to do it. He then became very abusive to Jeff and Jeff wasn't going to stand for it. Jeff then called the police and when they arrived...a very handsome cop...if I might add came to the door, we explained to him what was happening. Then the cop went over to talk to him and he became abusive to him...so the cop knows that we were not blowing this out of proportion! So i think that is what sparked her to go crazy!
So, when she was ranting and raving...saying that we call the police on her all the time...which is a total lie...once in 3 years...that is not all the time! I said she was acting crazy! Holy Cow...you would have thought that I took her first born...she went nuts...I turned to Jeff and said...let's go back in side...she is losing control! So that is where we are with the crazy neighbors...They are pure evil! That is when I thought of this...“I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.” Psalm 16:8 (NLT)Every now and then I think God puts the devil in front of you to see what you will do. Well...isn't he funny...he put her right next to me! He has a funny sense of humor!
Everything is moving right along with the adoption. Only 1 month and 2 weeks left...6 weeks to go! I can hardly wait. I know that there is still a chance she may not place...there is always that chance...but it is in the Lord's hands and I know he will do the right thing! Everything is falling into place...the house, the baby, the job, our life in general. I am so thankful that I chose to turn it over to him and stop trying to being in control of everything.

SO.............

I have been hemming and hawing for a few days now whether to post or not to post, but after today I feel I MUST post. Last week we were called and told that we were matched! We were so excited...for the last 5 days I have been so stressed out...after today...I am more at ease. We have a fabulous birth mother who has chosen us! She found us on the Internet, on a website that I found a few months ago and spent all night that night deciding if I should post there or not...glad I listened to my little voice called God...can you stand it! We are expecting our daughter to arrive on or around August 4th. That is about 8 weeks away, but we are all hoping she comes sooner. I hope this for a number of reasons...I hope this because I am selfish and want my daughter home! I hope this, because I know that our Birth Mother is so uncomfortable with this heat! I hope this because we have waited so long for our baby to arrive. But I know the longer she stays inside the better.

I know most people don't announce this type of news until it is closer. But you know how I feel about the power for prayer. We know that God has us in his sights and knows we are ready and I now know it is for sure in his time, but will remain cautiously optomistic! We had a wonderful conversation today, our birth mother is beautiful, smart, funny, easy going and not a selfish person. I am so honored to have her as our birth mother I could cry OH and I have! She has a very good head on her shoulders and is very healthy. We have prayed and prayed...I have heard everything He has said to me and followed through with it. They say you should go with your gut feeling. All of the failed placements we have had...I have never had this feeling. It is an amazing feeling.

It is now my mission to help all my friends who are still waiting for their babies to come home. If you need suggestions on what to do please email me. I was touched by adoption 35yrs. and 11 months ago when I was born into a family that adopted a bi racial baby boy in 1969. I knew from the time I could think about being an adult that I wanted to adopt. I knew that I wanted to be that special family...because families who adopt are special. The most amazing thing is we are all adopted by the Lord. I wanted to share this with you so you can have the faith that it does and it will happen to those who TRUELY want it. Stick with it...it will happen...in his time! Hugs and Blessings
