It's Been One Of Those Days

Ok I'm putting myself out there because I'm the only one who has these. Today was a pity party day. Oh yes and it was a party of ONE......lol. Since we have decide to volunteer in Ghana for a week in March, I've been a bit stretched. I'm one of those people who don't fly by the seat of their pants very well. I like to have a plan and plenty of notice. Well God knows this, and well he is pulling me out of myself. Well we found out we were adopting 2 weeks ago and since then it's been chaos......awesome chaos. We have been busy with paper work, immunizations, physicals, a home study and oh yeah we didn't feel like that was enough so we've decided to throw in a little home remodeling to get things ready for 1 more! Oh yeah throw in a little work place excitement and we are really cooking now. I was just begging someone just to punch me in the gut....to top it off. That was my attitude earlier today. I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed, even to the point of questioning if we were even ready to add to all this chaos. It was in the middle of this tantrum that I feel that the Lord spoke very clearly to me. I felt him telling me that, it is if my wife and I are expecting. This is no different than if my wife was carrying my child. If that was the case we would push on through all the craziness to welcome that joy in my family. Well that's exactly what Im choosing to do now. It made it all better when I got to see my wife this afternoon. I'm typically the one saying that it's all gonna work out and be ok. Well today roles flipped and she was such a breath of fresh air for me. She has such a peace even among the chaos, that it really eased my concerns. That's the thing I love about our marriage, we are a team. This child is gonna have the most amazing momma ever, and Im so blessed to call her my wife.
