I wasn't planning on talking publicly about this just yet, but now I feel like I can take advantage of the situation to let my super faithful prayer warriors start their engines. We have been given the immense blessing of an opportunity to explore a private adoption of a baby due at the end of this month.
You know, just when you are giving speeches about how you are going to lay back, "Let go, and Let God", you get a mouthful of "Hey, I didn't see that coming!".
While we are incredibly excited about the potential blessing this will bring for us, our family and our friends, we are not entering into this process lightly. We always knew adoption was on the horizon for us, we just never anticipated it happening now. Trust me when I say that we are taking this process step by step, trying to listen for the voice of God with every inch.
It will be a long process that will cover a short amount of time, so I will probably not go into it much on here, at least right now. For this time, we are asking you all to approach the throne-room for us and ask solely for the will of God to be made known in this situation. And that you will rejoice with us when we bring our child home, whether that is in less than a month, or when God decides it is time.
I can't thank each and every one of you enough for your constant love and support you've shown Brian and me through this entire process, you are truly God's gift.
