one of my favorite words! Sends warm cozy thoughts running through my head.
I picture my home. More specifically my room where an oversized bed with a large down comforter lays. Pajamas are on and there's nothing to do , and somehow there's a chai tea latte in my hand. My face is washed from all my makeup and I have a large mound of hair on top of my head (we call these fun buns ).
Ahhhhhh COMFY!
I like being comfy , I mean who doesn't ? (Other then insane ladies who wear high heels or men that wear super duper tight jeans )
Comfort is something I seek out in life and look forward to in my days. I like to be comfortable in our finances, comfortable in the foods I eat , the school that I send my children too , the doctors we see for check ups. I like to be comfortable in my relationships , in my neighborhood ,in the route I am driving and in most all decisions that I make in life !
I just want to feel comfortable . Is that so wrong ? Insert guilt here .
God didn't say " my daughter here is a life full of gifts , now get comfortable " but the World sure does . And this world is so loud!
In our decision to adopt we have given God our desires for a cushy comfy life for a life filled with unknowns.
"I love adoption" that's an easy thing to say .
But feeling so heartbroken for orphans that we are going to do something about it was not an easy decision .Ross and I had many conversations about money and finances before making this decision. And what it came down to was ..what does God say about all this?
James 1:27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
I often go to a place where I imagine myself standing before Christ and he is talking with me about the life he has given me and all he has blessed me with.
Gosh, I am so darn grateful for what I have but I also know he's going to ask me what I did with the gifts he has given me and I know that I have the ability to make that conversation one where my father is proud.
Ross had Friday off from work last week so we were able to get some stuff done . Fingerprints and background checks are completed ! All of our paperwork is filled out for our home study and we are waiting for our physicals next week! Then we send it all in and wait to hear from the agency .
The heat here in California has brought us indoors the past few weeks, we've been standing In front of fans and laying on the cold wood floors. But this evening the air is cooler and we have ventured back outdoors.
Rush is happy the slide is not burning his skin!
