At least that is what we were told. Joe and I got our prints done this morning. I REALLY hope we don't have to do that again, though. We had to leave the house at 6am to get there and wait in line for a little bit. We went through 3 lines before getting the prints. Thankfully, since we got there early, we didn't have to wait too long in the other lines. The woman who did Joe's prints, said his did fine. YAY!
I also have some exciting news for ME. We got patio furniture!!! I can't believe it! I plotted myself on the couch every morning willing myself to be content. But then Joe's co-worker went to Home Depot and looked at the patio set thinking of us. He came back and told Joe about this great deal. When we got there, the set he was talking about was gone, but the one I had been eying for months now was on sale. Actually, it was the bigger version of the one I wanted for way less than the price. I had also gotten paid for some of my extra summer work. Ever since we put it up, we have spend MUCH time back there talking and praying. I have enjoyed quiet time listening to the birds sing and have been reminded that God answers even the simplest prayers. We have even been able to see our neighbors and spend time with them. It has definitely been one more reason to trust God in providing what we need for this adoption and life afterward. I can see my heart changing about many things and softening in many areas. My hands are slowly letting go of their clutches and opening to receive His best for me.
Now we wait for the referral. I honestly have no idea how long that will take. Joe is the eager beaver and believes it will be any day now. I am a little more reserved and think it will be at least a couple of months. Either way, I am content for the time being. Just knowing that it is all just around the corner excites and stresses me at the same time. So, taking this time to rest and wait is just fine with me.
If you need me, I'll be sitting on my patio enjoying the view. . . : )
