Breath.....Just Breath

OMG!  Just heard from our case worker that we were selected by CPS for these children.  The process now is we await the case files which could take 7 to 10 days, then we go through them with our case worker.

Sometime after that we meet with CPS, our case worker and others for questions then we decide if we want to continue to pursue.

This must be what it feels like to know you are about to be a parent;  will we be good parents, will we be able to handle whatever comes our way, will we be able to show them the love of Christ that he so wants them to know.   I have so many feelings running through me right now; excitement , anxiety, a little panic, ...I've cried and now I'm kinda numb.   Give me a second, I should be coming up on another emotion any time now....

Too all our friends:   We know many of you are anxious for us.  We appreciate everyone's concern but know this, God has set us on this path and He will see us through.  For I know the plans I have for you.... He knows the plans He has for these children as well.   We go into this eyes wide open and are confident that God has placed this within us.  Every child deserves a home and to be loved unconditionally.  We know God has the children for us already determined.  We are trusting him through this process.    We aren't naive and this isn't everyone's road.  All we ask is that you stand beside us; pray for us and for the children.

Thank you so much!   We love and appreciate you guys more than you could ever know!
