The beginning of a great many things

I'm going to give this blogging thing a try...  bear with me...

My husband and I are almost finished getting licensed to foster/adopt.  We're excited, nervous, scared, and a whole combination of other emotions.  This blog will mostly consist of our journey through becoming and being parents to the children that God places in our home.  Adoption is something that we're both passionate about and its something we both feel called to do.  How convenient, right?  Coincidence?  I think not.  God has his hand in everything.  But that is another story for another time and will most likely be re-caped in and around our next wedding anniversary.

Right now we're just waiting...  I'm not good at waiting.  Really really really not good at it.  There are many unknowns and plans that can't be made yet.  Its driving me a little crazy, because I love to plan.  I plan for a living even.  Its what I do, its how I function and its how I think.  So this waiting, even to plan, is killing me!  God has done this to me several times in my life now.  He takes away my ability to plan on purpose.  He fills my life with not just one unknown, but a series of them, so that I have to rely on him to take care of the details.  There are a few things I know for certain though.  We have an age range and an open date.  September 2013.  Four months for me to either rest in the peace of my Lord, knowing he's in control and has it all laid out already...  or four months for me to drive myself batty with unknown details that I can't plan for.
