You're getting warmer!!

I used to love playing that game when I was a kid. You would walk around searching for something that was hidden and the other person would be saying "cold" or "warmer" or "hot" to help you find it. Some days I feel like I am playing that game!! Today I feel like we are definitely getting "warmer" and it is SO exciting. I am finishing our birthmother profile as we speak and our Social Worker already has a birthmother in mind to show it to!! I am trying not to get my hopes up and yet still so excited to already be at that step. God has been so faithful through our journey already and are enjoying each new step along the way. We are finalizing our homestudy tomorrow at 11:30am with our Social Worker. Checking fire alarms, seperate interviews, and the house tour. Our social worker is wonderful! She was our friends' social worker through their adoption process and they loved her as well so we knew that we were blessed from the start.
We had the blessing of seeing some of our dear "Friends for Life" at Cedarville's homecoming this past weekend. We has such an incredible time. We are SO blessed to have some godly and joyful people in our lives. We were able to eat together, laugh, catch up, and most importantly they layed hands on us and pray for us in this next step in our lives. I couldn't help but be overcome with emotion as they brought us before the throne. We are so thankful for the bond we share in Christ and for their support during this time. We'll... time to edit our profile and head to Kinkos. Feels like college heading to the 24 hour Kinkos in the middle of the night to finish a last minute project :-)
