The kids and I took a trip over to Bethany Christian Services this afternoon to submit the remaining paperwork that comprised our formal application for our adoption! It is exciting for things to be moving along..next we will have 3 interviews with our social worker. One will be a conjoint interview with both Bob and I and then we will each have a separate interiew with her. After the interviews we will have a home study where the social worker comes out to our house and meets the kids and makes sure our home is safe and has room for another little one.
I am filled with joy anticipating what God holds in store for us but at the same time my head swims with everything we have going on here already! God is teaching me to continue to rest in him and not to measure the success of my day by the world's standards. The perfectly clean and tidy home, straight A's on the kids report cards, everything checked off the to-do list...it's just not necessarily what God has for my day! It's more about being right with God and fulfilling His purpose for each day...not mine. He is definitely preparing me for this sixth child to enter our house!!! It's a big step. God is with us!
