Enough babbling already, right? Let's get on with the program. We have news to share and I'm quite anxious about it. Telling "the world" makes it all too real....and scary! Even though we have been praying about adoption FOREVER, to actually say (or type) the words scares me. What if something happens? What if our journey is derailed? What if...what if....what if....God is in control and to be honest, that is very hard for me sometimes. I have to let go. I have to hand it all over to Him and be okay with it.
Our world was rocked this past week- the details will not be shared here. A couple of people gave me a swift kick in the behind and got me fighting again. In the end, God shone through it all and we were given a "YES!" to proceed.
So...the moment you have all been waiting for- Prayerfully we will be bringing this angel girl (and another one, honey?!! Please?!) home in a few months. Yes, it's Ruslana after all. Doesn't God have such a wonderful sense of humor?! He has been messing with us for some time- just now are we "getting it". Thank goodness!
We do have a picture of her with a new haircut and a VERY LARGE bow on top of her head, but I believe this is the one we'll be using to share our story and spread the word. It just grabs me. She is our angel. I can't believe it!More details about our journey and specifics about Ruslana and other adoption stuff later. I will add here that it is URGENT that we get to her very soon. Her time in the baby house is running out, and she'll probably be transferred to an institution before we can get to her. The sooner we can travel the better for our angel. I can't bear the thought of her being in such a place.
Now, time to try to get some sleep. (I'm afraid to hit the "publish" button!:)
In Him,
