Preparing to be blessed

I just have to say that I'm already feeling blessed in this adoption process! We are just beginning to dive into this process and still praying about it. Right now we are pretty much praying between two agencies and two different countries. (Honestly no specific reason but I'd rather keep the details a secret for now.) But I just wanted to share that I can see God's hand already moving us along and blessing it. I have been surprised by the support we've already seen and the people that are excited for us. Strangers have been willing to talk to me, answer questions, and give advice about their adoption! Friends and family have found these people to talk to me. I'm thankful for the friends that ask me questions and are so patient to listen as it all comes spilling out of me because I'm so passionate about this. We are believing that as we continue through our adoption journey that we will see God's favor in every step. We believe that he will continue to use not just Nathan and I, but people from all over to bless the life of this child and us. I can be a doubter by nature but that is not of God. I'm already feeling stretched to believe the best. I can see that this is changing me for the better and transforming me in so many ways...not just making me a mother of 3. :) I have never met my 3rd child, but I'm already in love with him. I know that it isn't an instant love for everyone, but to know that people are excited for us and supporting us already fills my heart with joy! I am so thankful for those of you who are praying for us!! We are waiting on the Lord. We want to make our decision in confidence and are excited because we believe we will be making some decisions very soon!
