It’s been longer than I’d like since I’ve written or updated you on our adoption journey.  I can’t say much has changed on our status, but I wanted to share a snapshot of what’s taken place.  Last Monday, we received another “not yet” after sharing our family profile.  The rest of last week was well, quite interesting for both good and disappointing reasons.  It’s been overwhelming at times to watch God move the mountains and put together the images of an intricate collage.  I hope to share more on this soon.  

We are preparing to share our profile again this coming Monday.  Of course we are excited that it could be a match, but we are also preparing for other news and realize there is more at work than Craig or myself.  One big lesson I’ve learned in this journey is that I can only do so much.  Like nearly everything in life, you can try to do everything right, but that’s not a guarantee of results or that it’s going to be any easier.  The second piece to this lesson is that God’s got this.  We’ve already seen Him at work throughout this whole journey. There is no denying that He has generously blessed, protected, provided, and then some.  Receiving this lesson has meant that I can give God this situation and any other for that matter, and He’s got it!

At the end of this journey, I imagine a flip book of all the snapshots in our adoption journey.  Each snapshot individually is motionless, but when turned quickly they demonstrate the God’s movement.  He is at work!
