Adoption rollercoaster

God is in control but there are days where my emotions try to get the best of me.  We are in no hurry with this next adoption and know God's hand is in it.  But it seemed as I hit SEND on our formal application my heart have increased its beats.  I feel the anxiousness setting in; thoughts of, 'Should we do this?'  'Is now the right time?'  'Maybe family of 3 is perfect for us.' 'Where will the funding come from?'

I go back to a worldview class I had early this summer.  We spent the 5 weeks talking about our life story.  The story we think WE are writing and the story GOD is writing for us.  When life starts to feel calm, with no waves or troubles, that is when we need to re-examine at our story and decide what adventure does God want us to go on.  Well our family has been extremely blessed these past couple years.  We have not had any tribulation to shake up our family.  Well I believe now God is telling us time to fasten our seat belts as we are in for a fun ride.  (On a side note, this is one roller coaster I know my heart can fully handle.) 

Jitters aside and hands firmly clasped in prayer, I know God is guiding us on this second journey of adoption.  Our family is in for huge changes and I look forward to the day we land back on US soil with our new family.
