Big Changes Ahead

Well, we got an offer on our house over the weekend. We got exactly what we were asking for it, which is a huge blessing! I know that God is providing in every sense of the word for this adoption. In the beginning I wondered how in the world we would have the money to do this, but He continues to show us the way!! If everything goes smoothly we should close on the house around June 14. So today I called our social worker and cleared things with her about living arrangements while our house is being built. She is going to be checking with the agency director about the legal aspects of a possible placement while living with my parents. It may not even be a problem because a placement occurring in the next 3-4 months would be extremenly quick she said, but since we are open to any race she said it would be possible, and we would just want to go ahead and be prepared for it. I just can't believe all of the big changes in our lives right now. Selling a home, building a new one, living with my parents, officially being on the waiting list for a child. It's just so much all at once, but I know that God is working it all out. Although, I do feel a little nervous.  I wonder if that ever goes away?? I mean, when will I get to a point in my relationship with God where I don't feel scared, or nervous at all?  I do trust Him and I see how He has worked this all out for so long. I started thinking about the day we bought our house, we debated on a 30 year or 15 year loan. We went for the 15 year, and if we hadn't we wouldn't have enough equity in it to pay for the adoption. So over 4 years ago, God was working it out; knowing our entire marriage together that the fertility treatments would fail, and we would be here today, so excited about the adoption of our child! Please continue to pray for us, pray for God's provision financially, and for our birthmother, and for peace within my mind and spirit as all of these changes take place---because I am such a worrier even though I try realllly hard not to be :)
