Good morning friends! Today our social worker will receive the last bit of our paperwork for our home study in the form of 2 adoptive parent reference letters. For some reason the postal service lost one and so we had to ask them to write another one and in the meantime, we had asked one other person to fill one out and we got it yesterday, too. What a blessing these people have been to us to write these letters for us! Thank you, from the deepest parts of my soul, thank you.
I'll also share with you, again, how God will tell us we're ok. So I've been having some doubts while waiting on these letters to come back that maybe we're not doing the right thing because it's taking so long to get them. Maybe this wasn't God's will, but mine that we're pursuing. Just my thoughts. When it gets really bad like this I have to stop and say, "Ok, God, I want this, but what I want more is for my desire to be alined with YOUR will and not my own." This is when He speaks to me. He says, "My child, chillax! I've got this one!" lol Well, on this very Monday morning, I was going through this and I went home for lunch and I checked the mailbox and one of the refernece letters was in there. It was the only thing in the mailbox. It was with that one letter in the mailbox that I was reminded that I didn't start this journey, but rather God started this journey for us. Now, a little twist to the story...when we got home from work on Monday, there was a lot of mail in our box. There isn't an explination as to why this particular letter was there at lunchtime and none of the other mail had been delivered yet, except to say that God knew what I needed and in His infinite wisdom, He reassured me that I am living in His will. You could come up with a logical conslusion as to why that letter showed up in our mailbox when it did, but regardless, I needed Him to tell us we're ok.
Now, it's more waiting. I can't belive this process only started 5 months ago! It seems like it's been a year already! Please continue to pray for us and if you hear of anyone looking for an adoptive family, think of us. Our information is on the sidebar and you can feel free to pass it along.
Have a blessed day!

I was thinking about you and praying for you the other day. I was reminded about how long Abraham and Sarah had to WAIT. It is hard waiting! But God will come through in his perfect timing, and that in itself will be a praise and a testimony to His goodness and mercy and love.
