If you go to weather.com, there's a tab that says "Minneapolis Snow Mayhem" - I drove in that this morning. Super fun. I was so grateful to make it home safe where it was only raining. I'm pulling into town half traumatized from driving through a blizzard and every one here is bopping about like no big deal. It amazes me how we could have nearly 70 degree weather on Monday and go to this mess on Saturday. I'm glad I took a few pics of Liv at the playground early this week with the thought this might be the last time this year - come to find out it probably will.
My other "What am I doing" moment lately (besides sitting in my car in a blizzard this morning which would take way to long to explain how I got there) is with adoption. Sometimes the logic and sense of it just isn't there and the certainty of God's call has to step in. I know we're going to come to the end of this and bring Little Brother home (as he's become known around here) and it'll be amazing. We'll see how much he really is ours even though he was born a world away. But the paperwork and the money and the money takes it's toll too. But I've had WAY to many moments of seeing God's provision, the "oh-my-goodness-look-how-this-has-all-come-together-better-than-I-could-ever-plan-because-of-course-God-did-it" times, and the assurance of His goodness and love to know that I'm just going to keep going. His plan is so much better than mine. Our dossier is due at the end of this week, and I think we'll get it there on time. Hopefully. Liv has stated repeatedly that she wants a little sister instead. I'm sure she won't want to trade him once he's home, though. So we keep going. I think our next steps is to just wait. And pray. Because he needs a lot of prayer and so do we :).
