Today is the day of the first home visit. As I'm taking a break from frantically moving stuff around (so that meds and cleaners can be locked up) and cleaning my house. I cannot believe how much stuff we have in this house! And that's after we have even cleaned out cabinets and closets. I guess we need round 2!
So of course today I see all of the projects I wish I could get done in time. Brandon had a profound statement this morning (he usually does; I learn so much from him!). He said if we really wanted to go the fostering route we would be so excited to the point that our house would have been ready already. He's right; if this was something I really wanted to do I would be so strongly in favor that nothing could stop me! I feel like if we choose the adoption route we have more time to not only get our house ready, but more time to think things through. More time to consider answers to the questions we will be asked: what age or gender do we prefer, how many children? They even ask about race and culture. So that does take some (not all) of the pressure off of this visit today. But we still need your prayers! I need to be able to think straight and I need Sherman to not use his box while our worker is here!
On a nicer note, check out what my awesome Mama brought us! This is what I came home to yesterday (along with some incredible caramel apple bread):
She's pretty great!
Ok, it's back to work I go! Keep praying please 😊
Sherman says he will cooperate! He is ready for a brother or sister. Prayer going up for your visit today.
