Waiting in line

I've been saying for several weeks that I feel like I'm waiting in line to get on a roller coaster. Its a scary, yet exciting place to be. I know that there will be ups and downs, twist and turns and in the end I'll be happy I got on the ride. Having just begun our home study process, my dining room table is covered in stacks of papers. Organized chaos. I know exactly what needs to be done or has been completed in each stack. Today I relinquished my first stack to the postal system. That took my breath away. I felt like I was giving up a bit of control. So now our finger prints are on their way and we are one stack of papers closer to our newest blessing!
