Referral!

Yesterday we got our referral call after waiting for exactly 3 months and 3 weeks. I'd been having a feeling it would come soon and was rather obsessive about it for the last few days. Everybody says the call comes when you least expect it. I thought that would be impossible. How are you never expecting it? But's it's true...At 5pm while I'm doing a Jilian (Biggest Loser) workout video I was only thinking of surviving the 27 minute workout torture I had subjected myself to. I was about 5 minutes in when the phone rang. I thought for sure it was brent. When I went to the phone and saw an (817)number I still didn't get it. Don't all referrals call from an unknown number? I decided to answer it anyway. It was Mary!! She asked me if this was a good time? was brent around? I couldn't believe it. As I'm talking to her I'm still completely out of breath from my workout. She then told us she had a referral and I started screaming on the phone.Then I called brent but he couldn't understand what I was saying b/c I was screaming. He just kept asking me if everything was ok. After this came a confusing few minutes as Brent and I tried to coordinate getting together to receive the referral info. He was supposed to go straight to band practice at 6 and 5pm traffic would be too bad for him to come home. So, I decided to go to his office. Of course Miley came as well (when I put her in her kennel to leave she started whining and barking, which she never does, so I let her go. It's her family too). Anyway, I raced to brent's office, we put Mary on speaker phone and learned all about our beautiful almost 19 month old boy!! I can't post pictures or any info. until after our court date. We're still in complete shock as this was a pretty quick referral time. We are praising God for this child and are once again in awe of His providence and goodness.
So, what now? Our court paperwork will be gathered and we will receive a court date in 1-3 months time. Hopefully we'll make it before the rainy season. We are so excited and humbled that God would give us the privilege of raising this amazing boy.
Praise His Name!
