Guarding my heart

Posted on by

While we wait, I’m trying to guard my heart in regards to Little Girl. In the process of trying not to fall for her, my heart melts even more. So I’m trying to find things to distract me (you know, like work!?!).

It ain’t happening.

The best way I’ve been able to describe this situation is that it’s similar to the first trimester of a pregnancy. In general, the risks of losing a baby during pregnancy are higher during the first trimester. If you follow this analogy, Thursday afternoon marks the end of the first trimester.

Except, of course, this is absolutely nothing like that. At all! If the Committee should choose the other family, of course we’ll be heartbroken. But it doesn’t mean this child will have died. It means that she will join a family that loves her and will provide her the care and attention she needs.

And because of this, we will celebrate for her, even if it breaks our hearts.

All should be revealed to us Thursday afternoon. Pray for us. Pray for the Committee. Pray for the other family who is probably just as distracted as we are. And, of course, pray for Little Girl.
