I want a SISTER!
Josy came to me and said that she has decided....she wants a sister. Well, that's sweet. I explained to her that it wasn't that easy. She could not understand why we could just not get on a plane and get her one.....TODAY! I told her that it costs a lot and I was not sure that God wanted that for us. Well, a five year old doesn't understand. She just understands that she WANTS a sister. She must have took the "it cost a lot" to heart because she offered the money she had in her piggie bank. It really touch me. She was willing to give what she had to get a sister. It made me think. We had originally signed up to adopt again from China in 2006. The wait has stretched out so much the age difference in the girls would probably be 6,7 maybe 8 years! So we decided that it was not for us. I am not getting any younger and I am a bit selfish. I like working part-time while she is in school. I just do not know about starting over. I just thought is was sweet of Josy to offer ALL she had to get a sister. It made me think about my selfishness. So who knows what God has in store. We will see. MAYBE he does have a sister in store for Josy. MAYBE NOT! But, I do hope that I can have an open heart and willing spirit to do what God wants me too.
