It's On Its Way!!

I mailed the last of our paperwork today!!! It should arrive tomorrow by certified mail and everything will be on the move! It's exciting that we are that much closer. God has shown His faithfulness this weekend. Trust is such a big and hard word but the word He kept saying over and over to us. Why is that so hard to do? Trust? I think it's because we can never completely trust humans and we tend to give God human characteristics when we shouldn't and so we don't trust Him either. He is God-we trust Him with our salvation but we struggle with the daily things. It doesn't make sense. I am trying very hard to learn to trust Him fully and when He shows us how trustworthy He really is my faith is stirred and I give Him more of myself and my worries. It feels good to know that this adoption is continuing to move forward. We prayed that God would carry the packet to Raleigh for us and put it into their hands and that it would be assigned to a case worker quickly. We have a home study to complete and then we wait until God brings the birthmother and baby into our lives. Please pray with us for her and for our baby. They both need protection, love, and health. Thank you for agreeing with us!

Our Benjamin is so into school and all the new things he's learning. It is so fun to watch him grow. There are bumps along the way and we are harnessing some of his little boy energy into more productive means of expressing oneself, but he is loving it and we are so thankful to be given this opportunity to be his parents!!
