we met with the agency today.
there's not even words.
jacob and i shut the doors to our car after it was over and the tears began. and as one of my dear adoptive friends told me, i shouldn't expect to stop crying for many, many more months.
the situation with this agency...and actually the missionary organization we will be working with in taiwan is far above any expectation we had. i can't even begin to explain all of it. while we are braced for an 18 month process...it is far more likely that it will be a 9 month or less time period.
and while we were praying for confirmation as we went into the meeting...we felt nothing but green lights. HOWEVER...God didn't stop there...because sometimes our emotions can fail us, right? so while i was all in and we both felt the giant "go ahead" florescent light strobing over our heads it wasn't until later that evening that God really confirmed it for me.
remember yesterday when i posted about luke 14:26-27? well. as we searched later this evening to read and find anything we could on our organization (home of God's love) to learn...we found a video showcasing the missionaries and how they work with the orphans there. and the video OPENED with matthew 16:22
so we have lots to get started on and feel very confident and ecstatic in the process ahead...i could go on and on. but really i should just like insert a video of happy crying lol.

"Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life[f] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it."a different gospel's version of the very verse that had in question yesterday. it was almost to say that while i was ready to forfeit, God wasn't requiring that at all in this area...this time.
so we have lots to get started on and feel very confident and ecstatic in the process ahead...i could go on and on. but really i should just like insert a video of happy crying lol.
