Time to begin a new thread. As many of you know, last year before I went to Thailand, God started an "idea" in my head. I began to want to have another child added to our family. As the days past, I started to see a clearer picture of who this little person was. God showed me a picture in my head of a very small boy that I was holding and I just knew that he was Thai and had Down Syndrome. Many think that I'm crazy preparing for a child that no one knows about. I know that God has this little one just for us--somewhere. It's not my job to know or understand the details; I just need to be ready. So, we are now in the process of "being ready."
I have made lists these past two days. Lists of costs, lists of homestudy agencies, lists of fundraising ideas. To say the least, it was overwhelming. I know that God has a plan, but my faith sometimes waivers when I look at the overall cost. But like my friend Amy said (paraphrased), "It was God's idea, so He'll make sure you have what you need." He is, after all, the one that owns all the gold and silver of the world, right?
So. That's my heart and where I'm at in this moment. Check in every so often and I'll let you in on this crazy ride. ;)
