Patience

I know through all this process I will be taught an exercise in patience. I don't like being patient! Praying God will do his work in me;)

I was wondering what was taking so long with our home study application getting approved. So I checked into what I sent and somehow even though I entered my payment information it didn't go through! Aargh. My fault for not checking... So last Thursday it went through, and tomorrow it will be one week and hopefully will get approved to start.

The other thing we must wait on is my body to assure me that there will be no more biological babies! It is a hard decision to make, but with 15 million orphans in the world and if we can adopt 2- I feel we should do it rather than add to the population. Not that more biological children wouldn't be wonderful, and if we had endless amount of money and rooms in our home and time to not have to work I would be thrilled to have 10 kids are so! But none of those things will come to pass, so we will rely on God and our own hard work to make a loving family work with 5 kids, come as they may!

As soon as the home study is under way and we know for sure if we will be bringing one or two children home from where- THEN I will feel confident in announcing our intention to the world and asking for help! So far we have told many people here and there, and our information has been very well received by most. When I shared with my OB this morning she got a big smile on her face and told me I will need to bring in pictures. Hey, I just may bring her in the real thing!

So for now I practice patience!
