Today's Stuff

Today's news: I finally had that doctor's appointment for my knee and I am cleared to keep running! Apparently it is my IT band (which he explained all about but I didn't really understand...of course, I still nodded and acted like it totally made sense!). Anyway, he gave me a cortisone shot and I've been feeling pretty good tonight! In a few days I should be good as new! The 1/2 marathon is still on, unless..

Well, you know what I'm praying for :)

At the start of our adoption journey, I saw this t-shirt on a website that said:

WARNING:

I'm in love with a child that I haven't met yet.

I'm in the process of adoption.

I am subject to cry at any moment.

Please bear with me until I'm on the plane to Korea.

When I first saw this I thought RIDICULOUS! I will never be like that! I will never be subject to cry at any moment. I will be patient and trust the Lord and I will not be ridiculous about this.

I am now thinking about ordering one of these t-shirts. :)

No, not really - although it might be a good warning for everyone around me at the moment! What I mean is, this is harder than I thought it would be, and harder than it seems it should be. Getting a new picture of Matthew last week was the best gift ever!!!! I loved seeing his beautiful face again and I am so very excited to hold him in my arms. I think I can honestly say that I trust the Lord more now than I did at the beginning of this process, because I have had to depend on Him so fully, so I know that in His time Matthew will be with us, and I know that He will give me what I need to hang on for these last few weeks until he arrives. I am dreaming of that day all the time now! I continue to marvel at the amazing things the Lord has done for us and am so so grateful for this journey.

And the best is yet to come!
