We have to update our profile and letter and renew our homestudy every year. Well, Its hard to believe its been a year already!! We got our homestudy renewal packet in the mail yesterday and its not near as fun to fill out a second time as it was the first time around. The first time around I was so excited to finally be at this point I flew through the paperwork. Getting it a second time is just a confirmation it is taking a little longer to be chosen then I hoped for. But on the other hand it gives us an opportunity to update our letter and make changes to it if we want too. I want to try to make it more personable to the birth mom as she reads it. I want our personality to shine through that letter and make her want us to be the parents for her child. Please pray God gives me wisdom and the words to say in our letter describing ourselves to her. This I have to say is the hardest part about the adoption process because you want to make myself look fun and the great person I am, but on the other hand I don't want to sound conceded. I find it really hard to talk about myself and my accomplishments. Hopefully if it be God's will this will be the last time we have to do our homestudy paperwork. It's crazy how fast this year went. Until next time please continue to pray on the Lord's timing and not our own.
For
the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end
[fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait
[earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be
behindhand on its appointed day.
Habakkuk 2: 3
