If you were to look up the words "busy bee", you'd see my face right next to the definition....go 'head....go look it up. (smile) Seriously though....I am a true busy bee. I've been like this since 'forever'...well almost forever. I love taking on projects, tasks, and learning new skills. It's just the way that I'm wired. I enjoy hard work and being challenged. At the same time, I'm very clear that I can't keep up this same pace when Ms. Selah arrives home. I truly believe with all my heart that God wants me to start now with making some transitions and better choices to bring better balance to our household, our life, and our future together as a family. And if I don't....well this wait time is going to be EXTRA long until I get it together because he loves her too much. So my friends 'nesting' has begun!
Don't get me wrong...we're doing pretty good as a family in terms of spending time together, running to activities, and just plain ol' living and loving on each other. Yet, I'm also clear that when Selah arrives, she and our household are going to require a level of attention, bonding, and balance unlike anything that was needed after I gave birth to my two sons.
So follow along on this journey as I share some of my 'projects, routines, and milestones' that I'll be working towards over these next 7 or so months while we wait to be matched with our daughter. (Yep, I'm thinking it may be that long before we actually even see her face or know who she is BUT....it's all good. Her mama has lot's of preparing to work on for her arrival!)
