The Adoption Option

This is the title of the talk I'm giving at a local MOPS group in March!! Last Friday I got an email with a request to speak! I'm pretty excited! :)

Thanks again to all of you who helped me come up with titles for my talks and for your prayers! Please pray as I begin developing this talk. Sometime in the future I would love your input, specifically questions you have regarding adoption.

Today I found out that our FBI fingerprints are on the way! Our SW again reminded me that it could take 30 days - 6 months or MORE.

Breath Jami, Breath.

Trust Jami, Trust.

The other day I was walking by the baby section in Kohl's and my heart did a little something. I was like NO Jami, you can't go there. Not yet.

I'm trying. Lord, I trust in Your timing. I truly do. But I need you to hold me tight.

So for now, I'm going to sit back in His arms, breath in the fresh air of this beautiful 70 degree day and let Him work.

Don't you just love Him?!

Jami,

I am praying for you- as the older sibling to 4 adopted brothers, I know the process.. I hope its a journey someday I get to go on for myself.

Woo-hoo...I will be praying for you and for His words to come to your fingertips as you type (assuming you will be typing the message out on the computer...hehe) Knowing He is going to use you in some Big and Amazing ways...cause thats just how God does things...all big and amazing He is. I will be praying that He is preparing the hearts of the women to hear the message. I am so excited to watch you in this journey. Love to you my friend.
