Passion

Well since there isn't always a lot to update on about our babies, I thought I could just update and give a little insight on what's going on while we wait :)

We have moved up a couple spots on our lists, but not a whole lot... Things are moving pretty slow over there right now. The Southern Region has pretty much been given up on, but there can always be hope and prayer for that to open up, because there are a lot of kiddos that need some mommies and daddies. Someone from our agency is going to ET sometime this week probably, to make sure things are going smoothly and as quickly as possible on their side. There are some kids in one of the orphanages, but they don't have their paperwork yet... moving on Africa time is what I'm presuming is going on. So hopefully everything will get worked out there and we can see some movement on that list!! :)

On to what's been going on. We are teaching a class at our church on Thursday's at 6:30 based upon a book called Orphanology. It went well last week, and we are hoping for the same tonight. There have been good conversations and I'm so proud of Kyle for being open to this and being a total rockstar last week. On May 18th, there is an adoption seminar at a church around the area in Zionsville, and we are going to that. I'm so so excited to go and meet some families, and learn more about what our life could and will be like. Our neighbor is also going, so we are looking forward to that as well. :)

That kind of stuff just gets me excited, I want to go to every conference, every state just to meet people and their families, anything to be involved in this world we are going to be in. I've been really trying to find out what my passion is lately. My number one passion is to be a mommy and be a good one. I feel like that's what God has made me to be. But... I can't do that right now. Not yet anyway, so I'm searching who I am and what I'm supposed to be and be doing. I love dreaming and dreaming big, but it sure can be scary at times. I want to learn how to rely on God and listen to Him and what He is telling me to do. I'm hoping and praying that God reveals to me what I'm supposed to be doing while I wait for my babies.

I'm often jealous of Kyle because he is such a natural at what he does, and he is so incredibly talented in what he does. Now, don't get any ideas in asking what exactly he does, because I can't explain it, but I do know he is amazing at it, and his co-workers and even his CEO think very highly of him. They are honored to be working with him. I love where he works too... almost all the men there are Christians, they have great families, and are just such a blessing to be around. I'm so beyond proud of my husband and all that he does for our family now and our family to be. He plans and provides in ways I never could.

As I start down this new journey I hope I learn a lot about what's around me, the people around me, and especially who I am. I know God has wired me to be who I am, I just need to find my place.
