My Dearest Erika,
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will." Romans 12:2 (NIV)
"Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you." Romans 12:2 (The Message)
My love,
Your Redeemer
Thank you Lord, for confirming over and over and over, that you created us to handle this adventure...you have given us the tools we have needed right when we needed it! Thank you through this process you have continued to remind us on a daily basis to fix our eyes on you, not on ourselves, not on our daughter, not on the process, but on YOU. We are actively listening for your guidance and instruction with every step, and having our yes card available and on the table before you can even finish...we desire to know you more by actively seeking you every day. We have been forever changed...
WE ARE BEYOND BLESSED!!

This time next week you will be holding the fruit of your obedience! All the hassles of getting to this point will fade away and you can just hold, rock, cuddle and kiss your daughter! Yes, you are indeed beyond blessed!
Very sweet. In a week, you will not worry about the super cold, the foreign food, or any bad vibes. You will lock eyes with a little one, and it will ALL be worthwhile.
