Our official number on the wait list for our adoption is lucky #7!
Ever since our paper work was updated and we once again became active on the wait list I have been living with this sense of expectation. Some mornings I would wake up and "just know" today would be the day we would get our referral call. I would hear a song on the radio, or feel a sense of peace and I would think, "This is going to be the day!" Obviously I have been wrong all of those times, LOL! I don't say this to complain or be ungrateful, that is just what the past month has been like. All those moments of peace or excitement or even anxiety have been reminders to me that God is in this and He sees me. And even more precious to me, He sees my son. I cannot wait for the day I get to see him too!
Aside from anxiously awaiting our referral phone call we MOVED! Yes for the second time in 9 months we moved all of our worldly possessions with two children in tow. We had some amazing friends from church that helped us with carrying our junk, to babysitting and painting. I have prayed, and I know many other people have prayed for us to find good friends when we moved to St. Louis and oh how God has provided them! Our gratitude to them and to the Lord for sending them to us is huge!
We are two weeks into our new home and there is still much to be done, but it definitely feels more like a home. We can finally settle into Missouri and start to grow some roots here. Camy is in Pre-K (bad mommy needs to post about this) and Hadley started her first year of PDO (also need to post this!) Life is moving forward and to think that we will soon be here an entire year seems crazy! This is where God has us and I'm excited to make many many memories in our new house, with friends both old and new, family, and our son. God is so good and I don't deserve a bit of it.
My next post will either be about the girls starting school or seeing my son's face for the very first time! Stay tuned..... : )
