You have an awesome family and I am certain that God is not calling you to do anything He is not going to give you the resources to handle.

It makes us realize all the more how much we rely on Him!

You ...I am more than sure you have these feelings!! You handle it with such grace though, all we can do is think about all the excitement!! It is so courageous of you. With all the changes, adustments, work etc, you wouldn't have warm blood in your veins if you weren't feeling fear. That is why you know that God is with you through it all. Isnt' that wonderful? It is such a relief when I can tune into knowing that throughout my day, in whatever I do. There is no preparation that can be done that will be more important than trusting in His perfect love, guidance and His peace in what will sometimes feel like chaos. I am so privledged to have your journey to follow Charissa. In your HUGE undertakings, (don't let that scare you), you encourage me with my little ones. And I know, if God is with me as I take my baby steps, surely He is with you and has His hand on you and these beautiful children making their way home. <br />You are not alone in this. Don't forget,K? love to you, Charissa.<br />ElaineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434202048056046520.post-35041312212226107282009-09-13T21:21:19.515-07:002009-09-13T21:21:19.515-07:00I think your concerns are valid, but what keeps co...I think your concerns are valid, but what keeps coming to my mind is that our GOD is BIGGER than every one of those challenges. Not that you don't want to try and best prepare yourself for those things, but it's going to be a hard balance to remember that you'll never be ready for what God's about to bless you with. Prepare yourself, yet trust in Him...that's exactly what you are doing. Reading and keep on your knees. <br /><br />I have said that same thing a million times over, I am so thankful to have adopted transracially or adopted at all at a time when we know so much more and we understand how to do this better than before. The books alone amaze me, and then to think that you can't go anywhere without seeing a transracial family, at least in our area you can't. That's a huge blessing! <br /><br />Praying for you!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983106171924940163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434202048056046520.post-16213059989150438032009-09-13T19:45:42.418-07:002009-09-13T19:45:42.418-07:00I am sure you are more than upto this new challang...I am sure you are more than upto this new challange and how your kids have already shown they are ready for the next step in your livesChelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18045569846716531166noreply@blogger.com
