I am surprised that I've gone 23 days without blogging, but I don't feel guilty.
Yes, I wanted to embrace the everyday blogging thing, but I have so much going on right now that I doing my best to prune and say "no" to as much as possible. Apparently, feeling like I need to blog regularly is one of the things that was pruned.
Life is interesting, which is some kind of Chinese curse, right? I kid. We're just busy packing a bit at a time, looking for houses, and generally trying to stay calm. Last week, we were both so blue & frustrated with the house search thing that we just had to take a couple days off from it.
The reason all of this is happening right now is because of kids. We want to get a place ASAP so that we can get licensed for foster care & adoption and get a kid within the first couple months of 2011. That's the goal.
We're working on trusting God completely with that one. Sometimes it feels like a faith tug-of-war. Go this way. No! Wait! This way. Do this. Now wait. Go do this now!
This very moment, I'm having a "what's the point?" kind of moment. I'm breathing and praying and asking God to keep talking to me and changing me in the amazing ways he's been doing this past month or two. I don't want to confuse stepping out in faith with freaking out and trying to make things happen. I don't want to confuse trusting God with the details with giving up and being lazy.
I know that amazing things are happening. I know that God is working things out in ways we cannot see. I just have to keep reminding myself.
