I guess the only way I can describe how I feel about what I have been going through is that I have been GRIPPED. Taken hold of in a mighty way. I have felt, planned, spent my life and operated through the filter of someday adopting, of being adopted, of coming at life from this unique perspective. But, I have never felt the way we as a family feel now. Like it is an URGENT thing. Not something to be rushed into…not something we are plunging into without any thought or planning…on the contrary-see above. It is just that I am being taken on a journey with my God in a way that I have not been before. It is exciting, scary and strange. I do not know where it will lead. David does not know where it will lead. We do know the ONE who is doing the leading…and we are trusting Him and taking each step under His guidance….not rushing ahead in our own time. I am in awe of the way He is showing me each day that He loves me…for me and that He is orchestrating amazing things in spite of my humanity.

Thank you so much for sharing this! We, too, are in the midst of an adoption journey.
