A combination of Woohoo and Ummmmm

     So the news we have been waiting for finally arrived yesterday.....our homestudy has been  approved! I really want to stay real to the ups and downs of this process so I will tell you my train of thought during those next few minutes (and it's still going on).

- Woohoo!
- Oh my, what have we gotten ourselves into?
- I need to start on our profile book
- What if no one picks us?
- Hmmm, guess I should let my husband know so he can be excited too!
- Do we tell the kids or wait until we get matched, knowing it could be tomorrow or three years from now?
- Why am I more panicky than excited?
- Wow, how would we manage if it was tomorrow?
- How would we handle waiting three years?
- Deep breath, God has this.
- Seriously, what if no one picks us!
- We can apply for some grants now, gotta get that paperwork in ASAP.
- This sure is a lot of paperwork.
- I feel totally unprepared and not ready!
- Remember Kristin always says "God doesn't call the equipped, He equips the called"
- This is just like your other children, you weren't ready for them either and look how that has turned out :)
- This is all on His schedule, not mine
- But some notice in advance sure would be nice
- This is not anything I can solve (epiphany)----> (prayer), "Lord I give it to you and pray for your peace as we wait". Exhale and continue on with my day.

     Just a brief glimpse into the neurotic workings of my brain.  Please pray for us and for all families and children "waiting" right now to become forever families.
