Well I have been up since 3:30 am. I'm not sure why I am waking up at this time every morning. I know I have a lot to pray about so maybe that's why. This Adoption Adventure is really an Adventure and I am loving every minute of it.
I ask myself so many times, Why did we wait so long to listen to God and be obedient to His word about Adopting. I keep reading Defend the poor and Fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and needy. Psalm 82:3 over and over and ask myself this question. Then I remember its all in God's timing. He has to get everyone involved ready for the Adventure. I really do wish we had started long ago on this Adventure. I might could have had a house full by now. I told someone the other day if I had money I would love to Adopt from every country.
As we go through this Adventure I just want to become more and more like Jesus. God has blessed me with such a Great Christian heritage, I just want to pass it down to Kiersten, Josh and now our new son from Taiwan.
There is No greater Joy than being in God's will for your life. Why do we make it so hard for our self trying to do it our way and not what God wants for us. So thankful God wakes us up to do his will and loves us anyway when we are hard headed. Ha That's because He is such a loving God. He is our example of how we should love others, He adopted us even when we weren't worry of anything. That's one reason why I have such a heart for adoption. If God could love a wicked sinner like me why shouldn't I take in an innocent child that needs me, just as I needed God.
Wow didn't mean to get to preaching. As far as where we are in the Adventure: We just did our 4th home study. Still making copies and filling paper work out. Going to FBI office getting finger printed and all the other things you have to do. I never knew there was so much involved in this. Someone told me, Don't you have the adoption agency waiting on you to get paper work done, You be the one waiting. Seems to me there will be a lot of waiting going on. Just like having a baby waiting for 9 months for him to arrive. No morning sickness with this baby just lots of paper cuts. That was on a band aid holder Leah gave me from New Beginnings. I love it!!!
I will post more later about the Great Adventure of Adoption, just maybe not at 3:30 in the morning. So if you see mistakes forgive me cause I was typing half asleep. ha ha
