Its been a while since my last post. Much has happened. My friend Chapel threw us a Noonday party, I was in a car accident (not my fault and no one was hurt), my mom had a surgery that scared us all a little bit (she's doing great and our fears were unnecessary), Jeremy broke his arm, we got a free play scape (played a part in Jeremy breaking his arm), we both got sick, we got a new couch (don't ask, long story), some good things happened for me at work, and last but certainly not least... Last Wednesday we became officially licensed to be foster/adoptive parents!
We bounce back and forth between crazy excited and fearful of the uncertain changes coming our way. I think that's probably true for every parent to be if they truly understand the responsibility they're about to take on. Even good change can be scary and potentially difficult things can be exciting. Its a fabulously confusing mixture. Processing all of this has made for some interesting mood swings in both of us. Add in all of the other drama we've dealt with over the last few weeks...
I think God's preparing us for our peaceful honey moon world to be disrupted and thrown for a loop by the sweet little ones he's already set aside for us. Its going to be wonderful, even when it isn't wonderful, because we're doing what God has called us to. There will be moments when we won't know what to do and there will be moments when we feel like we've got this. There will be moments of disappointment and frustration as well has moments of joy and pride in the accomplishments and progress of our kiddos. There are so many ways to rationalize a safe and comfortable life that's all about me, but where's the fun in that?
