SO Thankful!

I am overflowing with thankfulness, joy and hope today. As you know we've been waiting for an update regarding all the delay's with our adoption. Well...I am so happy to say that we got our update today and referrals can now continue!!!!!!!!

I don't really know what to do with myself. Ian called me at work today to tell me the news and I just couldn't control my emotions. It was like all that aching just came pouring out and I'm sure if I was at home I would have been a blubbering mess. I pulled myself together though and went through the day in a daze of gratitude and peace.

Ian and I went out for supper to celebrate and we were talking about God's incredible faithfulness through this process. We've seen His strength & goodness on the days that are painful and now on the days of celebration. In every season...He is still God.

We are now back in a place of waiting for the "call" and although that could still be a few months away, it is just so exciting to know there will be movement in the program again. I'm already thinking of all the things I need to do in anticipation for that big day. Better get going...

Woohoo!!!

I can't believe it. I am over the moon.

p.s. My sister had a baby boy yesterday so I became a first-time auntie! We love you, Finn! You are a little miracle! :)

  7. I've barely met you guys, but am so thrilled to watch your faithful journey from a distance. One day, hopefully soon, we will get to actually connect (most likely while running 143 miles), but until that moment please know you are an inspiration and are being prayed for all the way down in Baltimore. Blessings as you prepare!!!
