You know, I guess I just thought/hoped that it would be easier and prettier this time around. Not so much. We haven't had any real issues or problems, everything just seems to be taking forever. Every little aspect just takes T.I.M.E. (and way more than necessary, if you ask me).
After a grueling three months of repeating week after week, "Please hurry! We're running out of time!", our home study is finally complete and in the mail, headed to our home. Once again, according to the state of Texas, we are qualified to adopt our precious "Juan" and his nineteen year old brother, if God wills it that way. Now we'll see what Colombia will have to say this time.....and then we'll see if God decides to speed things through immigration. Talk about living life completely up in the air! It's nerve-wracking, to say the least.
This paragraph from our Esther study really hit home:
"I don't know exactly how God perfects plans that seem so bleak to us in process, but these two things I know. He never takes His eyes off of us or off the clock ticking over us....the same eye that's on the sparrow is on the wristwatch."
About Me
- Rachelle D Alspaugh
- I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.
