Passport safely in hand

We got Paul's passport in the mail yesterday but, long story short, couldn't get to the bank before it closed to notarize our documents. We were tempted to get them notorrized at UPS but it costs $5.00 a document and we have 6 so we will just save that and get it done for free at our bank Monday and then mail off the last of things. It's hard at times, like when you recieve a document, not to be obsessive about getting it sent off but I have to let things flow sometimes and it would have been hard and more money to do it. I want to be patient, rest in God's timing and know that ultimately two days will not make or break us getting our baby. It's hard to keep things in perspective sometimes because this is such a huge thing in our lives and we are so excited and in love with the child God has for us so I am thankful for God's grace showing me how often I can make things an idol by feeling like: "I won't be satisfied if I don't do this now" or "I will obsess about this and think about it all day until..." or "I will inconvenience my entire family so I can get this thing I want done" which all show my lack of trust in God through this process. HE has called us to this and HE will provide means and ways for me to do it in a God-exalting way while still being able to serve my family and not sin. And more than that, HE is enough to sustain and satisfy me. It's very hard to believe after this next mailing, we are done. I wonder how long our wait will be? I am glad God knows and is the one to offer rest and peace for anxious, awaiting parents! The picture above has nothing to do with passports and all to do with an adorable 3 year old that is so cute I could just eat him up.
