It's complicated with: Mondays

Melissa Fischer

Monday mornings... I'm not really sure how I feel about them anymore. My entire childhood I hated them, for obvious reasons. Mondays meant the end of a fun weekend presumably spent with friends, relaxing, shopping, going to movie, staying up late and sleeping in. Mondays were early mornings, scrambling to finish homework I had undoubtedly procrastinated on, and basically the slap in the face that life isn't all fun and games.

Who really likes Mondays?

Even into my adult life, college and all of the jobs I had perpetuated this dreaded feeling of back to reality no fun Mondays.

Then all my dreams came true. I became a stay at home wife/mom. I would never have to go to work on a Monday morning again! {kidding}. Really though, my entire life I had dreamed of being a stay at home mom. I have always loved kids. Almost every job I have ever had has in some way involved child care. My minor in college was child and youth care. I love kids. That is why my heart cry has always been to stay home and raise some of my own. Truly, I am so blessed that The Lord {and my husband} have allowed me to do so. But, I digress.

Let the journey 'begin'

Melissa Fischer

Today was a good day. Travis and I got to have a phone call with our adoption consultant. {She is so sweet!} This is the first “official” step in our adoption process! We signed the papers. We have “officially” started the journey to our third born. I use quotation marks because really God began this journey in our hearts many years ago, but now is that time that He has made it clear to us we are to pursue this call. I really can’t believe it!

I continue to be amazed at the peace, excitement and joy the Lord is giving me on this journey that is filled with so many unknowns and so many things out of my control. Granted, we’ve {barely} just begun, so I may be eating my words later. I’m not so sure I will though. I am not naive enough to think that we will go through this process without extreme emotional highs and lows or without bumps in the road. EVERYONE I have ever talked to who has completed an adoption as told me of the emotional strain and the ways the adoption stretched them in ways they didn’t know were possible. I expect that. I expect that the Lord will take us to places that cause us to rely on Him in ways we never have before…
