Chosen One

We have introduced Caleb to having a baby in our home. When I told him that sometime soon we will have a baby to come live with us; his response was: I don't know who will give her to us. I told him I didn't know either but Jesus does and he has/is choosing the right child for our family. He said ok and that was the end of the conversation. I love that boy. He also was riding his bike this week. He is getting so big! Growing up way to fast.

I have to figure out how to post pictures. Still learning this blog thing!

I heard back from the lawyers office in response to my email. She told me that she isn't going to call us unless she knows it is a girl, unless I tell her differently. I am glad because I don't feel like I have to "choose" I feel that the vision was of a girl and that is what I am sticking with. God has chosen this for our life and is in complete control. We have given it to him and letting him roll with it!

I am seeking the word for guidance and understanding. I was researching adoption stories and came across a blog which she called the adoption "chosen". I have felt the same way. This child is chosen just like we are chosen to be God's children. I was reading Ephesians 1: 1-23.
This chapter stands out to me in so many ways.  We have been blessed in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing. Ephesians 1:4 says for he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love (5) he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will. We are all adopted and have been given eternal life through Jesus Christ. Now Dave, Caleb and I can do the same for this precious one coming to our home!

On Tuesday Dave had kidney stones and ended up in the hospital at 5:30am. He recalled that when I was 8 or 9 months pregnant with Caleb we also were in the hospital because he had Kidney stones; so he says that we have a baby girl coming soon! He also said that if this is what happens before we have children THIS IS OUR LAST CHILD!  Lol

We meet with Becky Sunday to start the home study process. Excited to get this started. I am having issues creating our profile book. It's hard to gather pics that are going to be looked at by our birth mom. I want it to be perfect. So be it!

Headed to bed! Night night!
