My Hope

A friend of mine sent me a link to a blog of a friend of hers that adopted recently. This is my hope, in terms of news, for the next year. Be prepared, I literally SOBBED when I read this.

By the way, we have decided that we are going to adopt. We are going to start the process after the holidays. I am really excited/scared/anxious/impatient/happy. I woke up this morning after having a dream that we had brought home a baby. It was a beautiful little baby and Chris and I were so thrilled to finally have the desire of our hearts. We kept gazing at the baby and then looking at each other and saying "We have a baby!" At first, I woke up from that dream broken hearted that it was just a dream and it wasn't real. But after talking to my mom about it (Moms are always way smart), she reminded me that it was a hope for things to come. Someday, hopefully soon, we will be bringing home a baby and we will be absolutely elated about it, just as we were in my dream early this morning.

We covet your prayers as we venture into this unknown. Please pray that God would provide a young lady that would trust us to raise her child, that we would be prepared for God's timing for all of this, and that the finances would be provided. God knows, we don't. But one thing He has reminded me of in the last few weeks is that He has good things in store for His Children, no matter how tough the road is to get to that good thing.
