All eyes on Thursday
Once again I am hyper-focused on the upcoming family meeting with the social worker scheduled for Thursday, 5:00 PM California time. The SW is aiding us in adopting one older child (likely Matt, age 13) from Kentucky. The SW cancelled our last two scheduled meetings due to his illness. It had already been delayed due to his prescheduled vacation. So now, once again, it is sceduled for tomorrow, two weeks after it was supposed to take place. This is to be our last meeting. He is supposed to issue his report by Thanksgiving. I sure wish my husband could meet Matt when he and two of my kids will be together in Kentucky for a week - staying until several days after Thanksgiving. I have this crazy dream to have Matt at our house by Christmas.
So, about my multiple biopsies taken two weeks ago today. The MD said the results would take about a week to come back. The pamphlet said, "a few days." I for one am glad the results aren't back because I don't want the results to mess up the adoption.
So, these last two weeks my mind has been a bit fried at times. But, it is so glad to be about God's business - that is, "trials of various kinds." (It IS a promise in the Bible, you know.) Seriously, (some sarcasm, mixed with faint hope is to follow), I consider it pure joy when I face trials because I know the testing of my faith...produces hope that does not disappoint (James). (Seriously now) there is a part of me that has joy and excitment in being called a Christian and being called worthy/chosen to suffer. But in a way all of this action is like the Kings in the play-offs with the Lakers. (But) this is important (hehe). The kingdom of God. His will on earth. New life to our home. Hope in Christ and a thrill in accompanying Him in His work.
