Another Adventure Around the Corner?

So last night I was reading a blog written by Sallee, whom I met at Macy's Ballet class. She had written about a give away so I clicked on this link and ended up watching this video. Those 15 minutes have changed our lives. Our 5 years together have gone something like this: we will have 3 kids and then maybe we will adopt, to we have 4 kids and one day we will adopt, to we have 4 kids and must start our adoption journey now! I have felt that lately God was leading us in this direction with more force than usual but last night He spoke directly to my heart with full force and I know that NOW is the time to get started. I know that NOW being the time won't make sense to anyone else. We have 4 children already, Joe doesn't have a "real" job, we don't own a home, and we have never had very much money but who are we to question God? Nonetheless I have in fact questioned Him on this one. Really? Me? Where will we get the money? Why?! Can I really do this? The answer to all those is simply Faith. We must have Faith and Trust in God. So here is where we are today... We have chosen to go international. Due to our ages and the number of children already in our home we don't have a large selection of countries so it looks like we will be adopting from Ethiopia. We for sure want a boy possibly 2 and in fact would like to adopt them both at once if it's possible. The first step is for Joe to move up jobs from pizza hut delivery boy to teaching. There are new teaching postings every day now that the schools are getting their contracts in. He has an interview with the DCS in Shelbyville soon and although it's not exactly what we want God has a plan. If this is what God has planned for us then let it be so.
We really need encouragement, guidance and prayers! So please pray that Joe gets a better paying job soon and for God's guidance. Somewhere (possibly not yet conceived) our child is waiting. I want to get to him as soon as possible!

...once our eyes are opened we can't pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know and holds us responsible to act. Proverbs 24:12
