Financially speaking, the last couple of years have been difficult for me and Will. We’ve battled off multiple attacks of Murphy, paid several tuition bills in full, and took a trip to Ireland. (Okay, so the trip to Ireland was by choice, but Murphy and tuition? Those were kinda necessary.) And we still have one more semester of tuition to go before we’re done with that.
We’d hoped to start an adoption this fall. We even filed a pre-application, sure that we would move forward as soon as we returned from Ireland. But…we haven’t. Finances are one glaring reason, but there are others, too, that I prefer not to share. So for now, we’re holding off. We know kids are in our future. If anything, we’re more sure of that than ever. We’re fairly certain God is leading us toward adoption. Still, the timing seems not quite right. We feel as though maybe we’re getting a message that we’re not there yet. And so we wait.
That’s where we are. It feels like a good decision despite that pesky personality trait of mine that’s always raring to go at full speed ahead. One thing I can be sure of is that God’s timing is perfect even when ours isn’t. I take great comfort in that.
