Chaotic Peace

Is there such a thing as Chaotic Peace?

I think so - I think that is exactly where we are right now.  Everything is spinning around me with a multitude of things to do but I am completely at peace.  Its a good feeling.  We are making huge strides and progress with the Paper Chase and are actually enjoying (some) of the process.  Its good to laugh and enjoy the time we are getting to spend together.

We have managed to get through our physicals (whew! finally Mr 'I love ham' got his blood pressure to a reasonable rate!), the kids will go this week, we are getting ready for our rummage sale this weekend with TONS of stuff people have donated - SO COOL! We have found a Psychologist!  That has been huge.  A really cool God thing, simply asked our doctor in casual conversation if he knew anyone and before I knew it he was on the phone calling a gal who's husband is a psychologist AND they just adopted from Ethiopia a year ago.  We have connected and are just needing to set it up.  Bam! Done... a huge piece of the dossier I was needing to finalize!

Financially, its fun to see how we have just to the dollar what we need for each step so far.  I do live in a slight panic of this but I continually let it go... I know it will be ok.  Another big thing coming up but I'm confident in God that He will provide! 

We are 2 visits in with our Home Study Rep, she comes to the house next Thursday - we have a few things to take care of there but not near as much as we had thought. And she's really cool.  I wasn't sure what to expect with this part but it has been a very easy process.  Lengthy, but easy :)

I spent some time with Tim last night going through the pics from his last trip and am as convinced as ever that we are on the right road.  I know it isn't for everybody and get that - but this is it.  I cannot wait to meet my kids.  I know God is preparing them as He is us for the time we will be together!
