Labor

labor giving birth is mostly intense physical pain

labor waiting on a follow up phone call to find out if you are really being placed with a three month old baby girl to temporarily love and nurture is mental pain....

i am reciting the verses i am praying for His will...
but knowing 2 hours and a phone call (somewhere in that stretch of the two hours)
separates you from going and picking up a 3 month old baby that needs a temporary home....

well, lets just say i am being challenged to have patience right now.
to trust trust trust
that either way....He's got this

He's got me.
and it will be as it is supposed to be.

Got the phone call about an hour ago, with all of the facts they had on her.
discussed it with Joey after I could barely dial his number my hands were shaking so hard
and we are on board
then when I called her back to say yes to the placement as my heart about leap out of my chest...

she told me of the possible change in plans
the mom wants to find someone else, in the family to take the baby...

if she can't
we are it...
if she doesn't before the custody papers are finalized (around 5pm)
she comes with us...

so now
I sit waiting
talking to My Father....
about His will
and my patience ; )

edit:  9/21/11 3:52pm  we found out we are getting her this evening.
God Break my Heart for What Breaks Yours and all of the Glory be to your name for shaping my heart as you have.
