The Shrum Family Adventures: I SEE LOVE!

I SEE LOVE!

Ever wonder what it looks like feeding 5 kids in a tiny kitchen??????
Well here is a picture at my house, its full! We were having soup that night.
( I think the kids liked it!)

"I see Love, I see Lo-ove"......... (song that is playing , by Steven Curtis Chapman, Mercyme,and Third Day. )

Can you say Cheese!!! Cheese, is Lilee's favorite word, now. Everything food is cheese. If she is hungry and wants to eat its "Cheese". If she is thirsty or wants her sippy cup everything is"Wawa" (water). So if you ask Lilee all I give her is Cheese and Water. I Promise I feed her more then that! Hee Hee.

She was weighed at the Dr. office on Friday and she weighed almost 24 lbs. She has gained 4 lbs in 4 months since I went to bring her home. But most of that weight gain was the first few weeks. So I guess all the cheese and wawa is doing some good.

Verses that really spoke to me and helped me get through our adoptions.

(John 14:18) " I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you."

(Isaiah 43:5-6) "Do not be afraid, for I am with you,
I will bring your children from the west. Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."

(Proverbs 25:25) "As cold water is to a thirsty soul : so is good
news from a far country."

(Matthew 6:25-34) The do not worry chapter.
This is the chapter that told me we would adopt again and the
baby girl woud be named Lily (Lilee). "The lilies of the field".
This is a great reminder of why we should not worry, God will take care of his people!

(Psalms 82: 3-4) "Defend the cause of the weak and the fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Resue the weak and neady; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."

(Psalms 68: 5) "A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling."

(Deuteronomy 10:18) " He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow and loves the alien, giving them food and clothing."

(Philippians 4:13) "I can do all things through him who gives me strength."

(Philippians 4:6-7) " Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present
your request to God. And the peace of God,which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

(Romans 8:28) " And we know that all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

(James 1:27) "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after the orphans and widows in their destress, and to keep oneself from being polluted from by the world."
