I want to thank everyone around me who has been so supportive in our endeavors with this whole foster/adoption part of our lives. Everything is coming down to the wire now and things are happening so quickly.
We are so immeasurably blessed to have our family, friends, coworkers, and church family behind us.

The dog is now sleeping in the bed with us, a good sign that he can be trusted not to go crazy when we are not there to watch his every move. I love my Toodles.
Matthew had to get up and leave early for work this morning and I will have the entirety of the internet know I got up and got ready with no one in the house, and I was perfectly fine. I am definitely "growing up" now that I am getting to put myself in the frame of mind that pretty soon I will be a parent. That thought alone made me feel a little less afraid of the world.
I wish Obama hadn't won, because of all of the values we do not share.. but then I had to ask myself what all Bush accomplished in 8 years that really made me happy we shared many of the same moral and social values we did.. and that left me coming up short.. so maybe Obama won't ruin the culture of our nation like I had imagined after all. God will make it right, in His will.
Oddly enough, Apple Safari spell check still doesn't recognize the word "Obama".. fix it!
hi samantha! so i may have been stalking your blog for a while now, at least since you left a comment on mine :). i just wanted to let you know that i know exactly what you're feeling and i'm praying for you. there's not anything that will prepare you for the change you are getting ready to undergo. when everything else seems turned upside down and you're exhausted remember that the Lord is stable and nothing is off His radar. the day that angel came i was a nervous wreck and the only scripture that settled me was psalm 139:16, "...in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of the them." He knows it all and has that very special, life changing, scariest day ever planned out perfectly. angel and i will add you, matthew and any new children to our prayers at night. let me know if i can be of any help...jessica
ReplyDeleteSeriously, thanks for the encouragement. We have our home studies on Monday and Tuesday and already I am too emotional to function!
