Crazy. Scared. Out of our minds. Scared. Ignorant. Maybe downright stupid. Scared. This wasn't on our radar. Not in our plans. Scared. Yes. I repeated scared. Several times. Well, because we are. Out of our minds.
We keep asking ourselves if we're ready for this. If we can do this. I keep thinking of Jonah in the Bible. God asked him to do something he thought was downright crazy (and probably stupid, too!) - preach to the Ninevites. So he ran. And God sent a big fish to get him back where he needed to go. I don't want a "big fish" to have to be used on us. I would rather follow God even if it doesn't make any sense to us.
The safest place is always in the center of God's will. Even if it's not our will. Or at least what we thought was our will. Or even what we thought was God's will for our life.
I mean, this is kind of how we felt when we were when we were ready to grow our family and we felt the Lord leading us to adoption. Yet somehow, we weren't quite this scared.
