Days Gone By

Phew.  It does surprise me sometimes how how it's been since I have written anything here.

Our first adoption class is less than a week away, and we'll travel to the nearby big city on Friday for our introduction.  Classes are this Friday-Saturday, and then again on the 26th-27th.  We are looking forward to a time of being overwhelmed by information, and hopefully opening our hearts and minds to exactly what God has for us.  It's been a long time coming - the adoption packet has been sitting in our kitchen drawer since May, waiting for an opportunity to learn more...

It's a little bit scary.  It's a little bit awesome.  It's a little bit...well...like God's game and not ours.

"So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.  You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.  For in just a very little while,
      'He who is coming will come and will live by faith.  And if he shrinks back, I will not be
       pleased with him.'
But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved."
HEBREWS 10:35-39
