He is Faithful...

As last week ended we were told that it wasn't possible to get both girls.  So we began praying that the Lord would make it clear on which sweet girl he had created for our family and it wouldn't come down to us having to choose.  He seemed to answer our prayer as we never ended up getting anymore information on "S" and our social worker said that M's placement was moving forward and they hoped to have placed with us in the next couple weeks.  More waiting and more praying!
However...
Yesterday I received an email that M's placement with us was being delayed due to the assessment of the relatives, so now they hoped to get back to us in a couple weeks with more information.  My heart was disappointed and sad.  I began to journal and pour my heart out to the Lord.  Asking Him to give me His peace and to remind me He is in absolute control.   I prayed I would be filled completely with His joy and not allow circumstances to take that away.  It was a sweet time.
The day continued...
About an hour later I received another email, this time from the case workers for "S".  Attached was a general profile about her and that they were hoping to have her placed with a family by mid November.  Yes... we now received more information, but we still had no idea if we had been chosen for her or if we still needed to go through the interview process.  Our social worker commented in the email she would call us later in the day.  I again spent time with the Lord praying for direction.  My mind was everywhere.
The day continued...
Our social worker called in the evening and asked what we thought as we read the additional information on "S".  I shared we were excited and trusting God would show us the path in which He would call us to pursue (M or S).  I then asked her, now that we have more information on "S" where do we stand and what does it all really mean.  She said that's why I called and began to share that our family had been chosen for "S" and that they are ready to place her!  Then she asked the question we had been dreaming of... Are you willing?  My mind wanted to explode... she continued to share with me more details, but to sum it all up, we said Yes!  We have prayed and asked the Lord to make it clear and He was faithful to do so.
Here is what we know...
At the end of this week we are suppose to receive S's complete profile and pictures :) and then next week we will meet with S's social worker to discuss the plan for her transition to move to our home.  There target date is to have her placed with us by mid November.  My heart is filled with every possible emotion from... pure excitement... to fear... what if for some unforeseen reason it doesn't happen.
There are still so many unanswered questions, but we continue to trust in the Lord.  He has been faithful and will continue to be so as we move ahead on our adoption journey.
In closing we have chosen not to share anything with our boys, until we know that exact date we will get to meet our sweet girl.
Please join us in praying for "S" and that the Lord would take care of every detail as we prepare to bring her home.
