Ready.

"Watch over your child, Lord, as his days increase. Bless and guide him where ever he may be. Strengthen him when he stands; comfort him when discouraged or sorrowful; raise him up if he falls; and in his heart may your peace that passes all understanding abide all the days of his life - Amen"

Have I mentioned to you guys that I have the best job ever? Well, it's true - I do. I really, really do.

A few weeks ago, one of my clients told me that this was the prayer that she prayed for our little one on the way --- yes. that really happened. One of my clients prays for my children that aren't even in my home yet. Yes, I know --- awesome, right? So comforting. I'm so grateful. 

I thought it was THE perfect prayer & since then, it's been my prayer too. My constant prayer. It's sort of become my way of taking care of this child --- because I know when I ask the Lord, he listens. He tells me that he does over and over again in his word. 

Some days are harder than others. Some days, I really feel a hole in our family. I know there is someone missing.  I'm so ready.

We finished up our IMPACT training classes a few weeks ago (more to come on that --what exactly that is, the chaos that came with it, etc) & since we are done with that.... this week we will turn in this paperwork! After that, DFACS will have to process the paperwork, but it technically could be ANYday after they have it.  

I'm ready. Ready to know that there is ONE LESS. Ready to know that this child/children will be SAFE. Ready to know and for them to know that they will be LOVED. WANTED. WELCOME --- for the rest of their lives!

I don't do well with patience, if you can't tell --- but I do know that the one in control is ALL OVER THIS and he's got it.

 

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. Psalm 27:14
