I am feeling great about the trip. Had a great day with 3/4 of my kids. Missing Aubrey while she is away. I realize things could slip away from me quickly, so I am trying to stay on top of things (or catch up quick, really.)
In the midst of all the "nitty-gritty" of preparing, packing, and leaving, I am feeling an escalating AWE. This whole adoption process and referral has been a huge gift. Getting a gift is great--who isn't thrilled with a gift? But opening the gift is the BEST. I am getting closer to opening the gift--meeting my littlest girl! I am feeling so blessed, so unworthy of the blessing she will be in our lives. All my children are a blessing. I just never deeply appreciated how they made it into my life and my family. When I pray with Lindsey, I always thank Jesus for giving her to me and our family. I am thanking Jesus already for Little Miss.
I know she is being given to us to experience more of God's love and draw us closer to Himself. I may experience more joy than I can imagine. I may experience more pain than I can imagine. It is all to bring glory to His name and to draw us closer to Jesus. I welcome it all. When I am doubting--remind me of this post!
Opening my package in 6 days. God is good all the time!
