Is this enough? Are you complete? How many kids do you want????
These are just a few of the questions we've gotten since bringing Desi home. Well, actually, these are questions we've been getting since before we brought Jenna home!!!!
My answer to all these questions, at this moment in my life, is YES!!!! YES we are complete. Four is enough for us!!!
Oh, if it were just that easy. I wish I was like other people that KNEW their family was complete, but it just isn't so. Saying that our family was complete would be like telling God, don't call me into the world of adoption again, because I KNOW BETTER THAN YOU!!!!! How can I do that? How do I know that God isn't going to place it on our hearts again to bring another precious child into our family?
The fact is I don't know. Why don't I know.....Because we said, after Jenna came home and we went through two years of no sleep, night terrors, etc., we were D O N E and look where we are now:-)
I believe that if "called" again by God, Steve and I will answer. Could we be done? Yes!!! We very well could be, but we have no idea where God will lead us.
"Once our eyes are opened, we cannot 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
HE holds us responsible to act. We know about the millions of orphans around the world needing a home. Needing parents. Needing a family. If He calls us again, how can we not answer? How can we tell God that WE know better than He does? Simply put....we can't.
So, today, right now, at this moment, YES, we are done. Tomorrow,,,,,well, that's another day now isn't it:-)
