Congratulations to Our Friends!

Our friends, Rob and Marie are probably, as I type, holding thier new son, AJ. They have been waiting for this day for years and years. We got a call from Rob and Marie on Tuesday telling us they were chosen. Daniel and I feel that this is most likely the little baby that we were being considered for. If so, it would make perfect sense to me how I had absolutely no feelings tied up in that phone call, it would make sense to me how all weekend we didn't even really think about it, we just enjoyed ringing in the New year together. It makes me think how amazing God is and how He enables us to have 100% complete joy for Rob and Marie with absolutely no twinges of jealousy. I can't even explain how much when I got their call, I knew this was their baby that God had placed in their family. It made me think back to when I first realized that Daniel was *the one* for me and how I had that feeling in my heart and I "just knew." I wonder if it will be the same with a baby, I wonder if when it is our turn (if it's God's will) that we will just know, and somehow He will nudge us so that we have hope, and we feel like planning and preparing our hearts to welcome a baby into our family at just the right time. I am happy that we aren't sad that we didn't get chosen. I LOVE the feeling of total trust in His timing and His divine plan, and I am so thankful that I can rejoice with our friends and that watching them is just even more confirmation that God certainly knows what He is doing! Praise Him, everyone, for all He is and His amazing love for us!
