Every time my phone goes off and it is Amanda, our licensing worker, my heart skips a little. Now I have realized when it is a text that does not me a little girl but for respite care. We get the honor of having another little one stay with us for a few days in mid November. She is one and I don't know if that means a new one or a closer to two one year old. They don't seem to be big on details and I am learning to be okay with that. This will be our first respite care with just one child! We were asked to watch a little 6 month old baby but Calvin came down with pneumonia and we didn't want to share those germs. I joked with Bryon that God was preparing us for 4 children since we seemed to get respite phone calls about 2 children. He says I am crazy but you never know. ;) It will be fun to see how three will be.
Other than respite care, we haven't heard of any possibilities from Amanda. We are officially on the adoption registry and she is searching hard for us. We know that everything is in God's timing but the other day Calvin asked what I wanted for Christmas and I said I would love to have sister join us to celebrate Christmas with us. Maybe a bit hopeful, okay VERY hopeful but maybe, just maybe my wish will come true.
Praying for your hearts to have patience while you await His timing for your new arrival. It will all be wonderful!!
