Amazed!

As I looked through the window I was taking everything in in grayscale. It had been raining for days and now and then the wind would rattle the bones. At this point I was in my office, wishing I was somewhere else but knowing there was much to get done. The ringing of the phone jostled me back to reality and a familiar voice said hello with an unusual amount of excitement in her voice. They had received a child, he seemed perfect for us, and would we consider hearing more?! I needed time to talk it through, PRAY it through. Cami was still in school and had a few more hours of teaching to do. "Can I come by and say hi later today?" I text? I'll be free at 1:30, she replied. It was the longest two hours I've experienced in quite some time.
As I sat across from her, looking her in the eyes and seeing eternal joy in those tears, we contemplated our options. Do we go for it? Do we wait for siblings? Does God know what he's doing?! The answer to the last question helped us answer the first. I called Julie later that day and told her we would proceed.
And here we are, three days later, hearts aching because we wish so deeply we could be on a plane, traveling half way arond the world, to bring home the precious gift God has known about since the begining. It is almost more than my heart can feel and my head can comprehend. A beautiful life, about to merge with ours,...how amazing that God has so much faith in us, the he would give us this precious child. I am amazed!
