well...

Today is a little bit of a bummer day, granted we haven't been feeling well this week. The kids have had a stomach virus this week, and now I ended up with it. That means the house is now a huge mess, and the kids are not caught up on their school yet today. Our oldest dd, bless her heart, did make everyone pancakes for lunch. She, and her sister, cleaned the kitchen in order to be able to make the pancakes...now it is a big mess again. At least everyone was fed! :)

I guess since I have been open, honest and vulnerable with you all so far, I will continue and share what is heavy on our hearts today. This whole identification process in adoption. There is just something that feels so "strange" about choosing your children. During pregnancies, you could guess what you were having and how another girl or a boy would affect the family...but now you have a say in that decision. Our Adoption Coordinator explained it in terms of choosing your spouse. God shows you who the right one is. It was helpful to view it in those regards. I know that God already has the child/children that He wants for us chosen! I just don't want to let any of my own ideas get in the way of following Him in this. So if you could please pray for us...we would greatly appreciate it! This is a huge, life altering decision and we need your prayers! God is Sovereign and He will be faithful to show us at just the right time. There is just so much that goes into this decision! Thanks for your support!
