I'm not sure how most other families move from 'thinking' about adoption to 'adopting'. For us it has been (or felt) like a whirlwind. It is an amazingly long process...I already have a 5 pocket spiral as well as a FULL 3 inch binder! Some days just the paperwork is very overwhelming, and some days, all I can think about is every hour that goes by where I am not 'working' in some way keeps him from being home.
That's why things like blue yarn make me cry.
As I look around and see all that needs to be done to the house before we can pass our homestudy and work to raise the money to even have the social worker here and think about 'when' our house will sale - well, it's hard not to feel tiny.
But tiny is good when next to, say, a mountain. Isiah 2:3 "And many people will go and say, Come, let us go to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach of of His ways and we will walk in His paths."
Makes me think of Veggie Tales, where the peas are singing "keep walking, cause you won't knock down that wall, keep walking, cause it isn't going to fall". Well, silly peas...we will keep walking and I just like Joshua we WILL see Gods glory!
