Can't believe it!

Are you in as much disbelief about it almost being Christmas as I am?  Maybe it's the fact that we haven't yet had a decent snow fall or that we are having the most amazing weather for December, but I feel like the 2012 year flew by in record time.  Well as for the adoption process (and I feel like a broken record here) we are wrapping up our home study.  But there are about a million details involving this and I absolutely HATE details!  So we have spent the last week getting blood tests,  finding every document know to man on us, and asking for letters to verify this and that about us.  I'm just SO anxious to get to the good stuff.  I can't wait to get a referral and put a face to the name (Jonas) we have now had since 2008.  Who is this little guy going to be and how in the world is he going to fit into this crazy family of ours?  I do honestly worry about how this is all going to come together, but I know God will work out all those details I can't stand! I'm in awe of all the amazing and loving friends God has placed in our lives.  Some I have know most of my life and others just a few years.  But without that kind of support none of this would be possible.  God is just amazing in how He works out all those details.  After having to part ways with some friendships over that past years, it feels redeeming to have the kind of friendships we now have in our lives. To have people who honestly care about our lives and who sacrifice not only their time but their own finances to support our decision to adopt. It has been more than I could ever have asked for. So as the end of  2012 draws to a close and I reflect back over the year, I find myself in a state of gratitude for friendship!    We wish you a Merry Christmas and hope you have a healthy and happy New Year!

Love from the Neely Family
