Two days ago, on Maundy Thursday, we had our new family interview/conference via phone. It looks like this will be a longer process then I had optimistically hoped for. We are looking at about 18-24 months from the time I get our notarized contracts back to Dove (which will hopefully be by the end of next week). Once the contracts are signed and our home study and contract fees are sent in, we will be fully committed!
Our littlest fella will be two years old in just a few months(!) and I am not sure what to do with myself... If we had continued to have kiddos biologically I would have a newborn by now :o( I am beginning to long for our children who are half way across the world. I wonder about them... have they both been born yet? Are their needs being met? What does their daily life look like? All I can do is pray and know they are in His hands.
Tomorrow we will celebrate Easter and the love He has for us. It has always been a humbling time of year for me and now that our oldest babe is old enough to learn the TRUE meaning of Easter I can't help but beem. I am SO proved of her and of her desire to know God.
I am linking a video that has captured me. We watched the movie "The Passion of The Christ" last night at church on Good Friday and that reminded me of this song.
On another note, our middle child (age three) yesterday was not happy that I made him end his bath time before he thought it should have ended. In his frustration he told me "You gonna die!" I said to him sadly, "You are right, some day I will die." He became very quite and then began to cry loudly and with many tears. We cuddled and I told him, of coarse, that I would hopefully not die for many, many years and he did not need to worry about it. As soon as he was reassured he was off and running again, but it was a very precious moment for me. I am very thankful that I got to be their Mommy and that they are my babes.
