OH MY GOODNESS Y'ALL! Our house has been all a-flutter and full of happy tears and phone calls to family.... Remember when I said in my last blog, that we would now wait 6-12 months to receive a child referral? Drumroll please..... We got the call!Guys. Our Home Study was approved 7 days ago. THIS. DOES. NOT. HAPPEN. Pardon all the caps lock, but I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF YELLING AND CRYING! This feels like such a huge, wholly unexpected, way over the top, answer to our prayers. I have always believed confidently that God is powerful and capable of great miracles, but I really struggle with faith that God will choose to do so... at least for me. (Despite His demonstrations! Curing my grandfather of cancer many years ago, giving me a wonderful Christian husband, answering many other 'insignificant' prayer needs in my life). For whatever reason, I struggled to believe He WILL. That is why this is one of my favorite verses: Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us-- to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21 And then, there He goes, putting a referral for 2 perfect siblings right in my lap. SIX DAYS AFTER OUR HOME STUDY WAS APPROVED! I am not allowed to share pictures or names, but I can tell you it is a sister & brother (eek!) that are younger than our 2 kids - which is called maintaining birth order - but not by much! The big sister is 4.5 months younger than J and her little brother is exactly a year younger than her. They are both summer birthdays! We are flipping out with excitement over here! Our excitement is only ever-so-slightly mitigated by the knowledge that this is not set in stone yet. Next Steps
