A friend of mine posted on facebook recently, "What is your dream job?" I've had a wide variety of jobs in the last decade or so. Some I absolutely loved, others not so much. Each one has had its ups and downs. I absolutely love what I am doing now. Serving is amazing! I love the family run company I work for. I feel like I am an important piece of the puzzle and I am valued. All that being said, I still couldn't call it my dream job. I mean dream jobs are big and fancy or different and quirky...they are things you rarely get to do in the real world, right?
And then it hit me! My dream job is the one things I feel like I've always wanted to do. It is as if God has designed me uniquely for it. My dream job is to be a mom. As we prepare to bring our twins home, I dove in head-first to all things parenting. Babywearing, cloth diapering, educational opportunities, etc. You name it, I've researched it. I want to do everything I can to be prepared.
You see I have waited a long time to be given this amazing opportunity. Even as a young girl and as a teenager I dreamed of being a wife and mother. With each day, it gets closer. God is giving me two little ones to raise up in this world until the day He asks for them back. What calling could be more meaningful that to shape them and mold them?
I don't have this whole adoption thing figured out. There are still some big paperwork hurdles and big financial hurdles we have to get over. But I know He's walking the journey with us. I don't have this whole parenting thing figured out (hence all the research ;) ) There are hurdles ahead that I will probably trip over in the dark before I ever see them. But I know He will walk that journey with us as well.
How cool is it, that God has uniquely designed me and is now granting the desire of my heart.
