What a Week This Will Be!!!

I have to say this week is going to be very exciting for me! I would love to say it is because I have gotten a referral but no that is not the reason. After 16 months I will get to meet my first blogger friend in person. Okay does that mean I have no life because I am so excited...well maybe but I think many of you who do read this blog will also find my week exciting too.

All I will say today is this week will surprise many of you for many reasons. I know that you are all tired of hearing about how starting this blog has impacted my life but do not stop reading here. I have "met" so many interesting people. I have learned so much on about adoption but more importantly about myself. I do believe that God works in mysterious ways. I remember thinking when I started this blog that I bet it will fall by the wayside before the New Year. I am glad that it never did.

Do not get me wrong I know much of what I write about is not really all that interesting. Especially for those who are in the very active phases of adoption. I remember thinking wow this is so exciting to read about what I may one day experience.

I believe that each of us has the ability to positively impact each other's lives. I think that sometimes we all forget how a simple gesture, phone call or email could change the course of each other's journey drastically. This happened to me this past June and then again later in the summer.

I will never forget the phone calls that have brought me to this week. Some calls were really hard to make and receive for all the parties involved. I pondered over how to word one email in particular so that I would not hurt this woman but that would accurately describe the situation. I am so glad that I did hit the send button. It took me 3 hours to write that short 4-5 sentence email. My intention is never to hurt someone but that can be a difficult task when so many emotions are involved.

Some phone calls left me feeling so excited that I would have trouble sleeping at just to possibility of what may occur. I know that this week I will be torn by many different feelings some sad and some that are extremely happy. So stay tuned for more.
