After months of gathering, writing, reading, taking on-line courses and notarizing we are finally done (almost) with the paperwork. We had our last homestudy visit last Thursday and now we wait for the report to be written. In the meantime we need to have a few more documents notarized but other than that we are almost ready to send it all in. There were times when it felt like we would never make it to this point and everytime someone asked "how are things going" I was always saying the same ol' thing...."just working on paperwork." Now while we are relieved to be nearing the end of this phase we are mixed with excitement and a bit of anxiousness about the next phase because there is nothing to do but wait. We are not very good waiters. But I know this will be a time of refining and growing and trusting in God's perfect timing. And it's not like we don't have a few monkeys around to keep us busy. Here's the only one that would cooperate with me today.
And then she's off~there are chickens to be chased.
Thankful today for my monkeys and the warm sun in November.
