Obviously, you can tell, my brain has been going 90 to nothing since the moment I found out about the interviewing process, and now it seems surreal that they are over with. This process has caused me to pray more, read scripture more, and essentially lean more on my heavenly father for strength, confidence, and peace. Now that I can relax and breathe, I feel like I can focus more on our little girl (or boy) and her birth mother (and father). Worry and anxiety are starting to be replaced with excitement and anticipation. And one the most awesome things about all of this is that it doesn't have anything to do with my ability to answer questions well or make myself calm down. It's Christ's work alone, through me. How blessed I am that he would even choose me to work this out!
We should hear soon about our interviews, then we will have to complete our 8 hours of online training courses as well as finish reading our books and raise a little money. Next big hurdle will be our home inspection. So, we are making progress but still have a ways to go. Thank you so much to everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers and for the sweet words of encouragement. It means more to us than you know!
If any of you readers have any words of wisdom or questions, we'd love to hear them!
