Our first week...

So I'm just gonna bullet point...
Tuesday - He told his family and I told mine.
               - he said I wouldn't believe the peace he feels about this
               - he said he would get on a plane tomorrow to go get her
               - he told me to start researching what we need to have and get it together
               - he told Jordyn and Travis (Jordyn went straight to her room to figure out how to rearrange it for a crib)
Wednesday - I went over all the paperwork we need to start the application process
                    - He asked me if it's weird to feel love for her already when we don't even know who she is
                    - He said fill out the application
Thursday - had all of our paperwork emailed to us
                - made dinner arrangements with some friends that have been on this journey ahead of us to help us
Everyday - complete joy filled conversation and time spent praying and praising God for all He has done and is doing.



People, you don't understand how huge this is unless you've been here.  I have to say, even if for someone wacky, completely unforeseen reason this doesn't come to fruition, our hearts are forever changed;  right now, at the point we are... FOREVER!

It's amazing the people we have talked to, the support we have, the encouragement.  God has truly put us in the right place at the right time for such a time as this.

As of now we have taken the first step and begun the "official" process.  Please continue to pray for God's grace and for only Him to be glorified.

This is a list of verses that have been given to me or laid on my heart.

Prov 16:2,3  "All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit.  Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established"
Eph 3:20 "Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us."
Jer 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
Rom 8:28 "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose."
