Being Sensible?

The other day I told someone we intended to adopt again after our daughters come home... I got "the look". You know, the look that says "why would you ever do that?" The look that insinuates that you are maybe a little crazy? I just smiled uncomfortably and went on with my day.

That same day our daughter let me know that when she met me she thought I was old. Ya know, on second thought next time I go to China I'm ditchen Katie and bringing a grandma, a really really old one. Maybe I been figuring wrong? Just think how good I will look with a really really old grandma next to me!

So that night I sat the hubby down for a talk. I was filled with sensibility- YUCK. I began to question our previous thoughts, I was feeling old, I did the "when they graduate how old will we be" thing too many times. I wasn't counting on God to lead us, I was makin some decision for us- you know planning out our future.

The next day, a decent night sleep, a few prayers and I completely changed my mind. Planning everything out, being in control(hahaha) that is no fun at all. I called hubby and said ignore everything I said last night.

He said "So last night I was the father to nine children and today I'm the father to however many?"

Yes, that's right!

"Okay"

Golly, I love that Guy!

Don't be sensible. Take a chance! Let God lead you and enjoy the ride!
