So, fast forward to mid-January. Christmas/ holiday season/ New Years was over! Chris was now finally able to process...and so we talked! We prayed! And we decided to reach out to meet Jenn. I made the call to my friend Susie...not knowing if they had moved on or not. Well, Susie and her niece Jenn, were still waiting on us...to take the time we needed to decide if we wanted to just meet and "see where it leads".
So...one chilly Sunday afternoon, we met...at Starbucks....over coffee. The four of us adults sat there together at the table...awkwardly getting to know one another....talking about the future and possibilities of a child who was not yet born. I could feel the ears of the lady sitting next to us....stretching to hear. I mean...how often do you wonder upon an adoption story unfolding right beside you...at a Starbucks.
The conversation felt...strange, yet unusually comfortable. There were alot of unanswered questions...uncertainties, but...it was a very nice "meeting". And as first meetings go....it went well.
We all agreed to talk about it...think about it....spend some time in prayer....and reach out to one another at a later date.
God....please...we are willing to follow you anywhere! We are willing to do anything! But...if this is not your will, please shut this door, and shut it fast. But until then....we will walk through and press on...because until you direct us otherwise....we are proceeding as though this match was by divine intervention!
