near miss?

we had quite a shocker yesterday.
we got a call that they may have a 2 year old boy that needs a home.
GULP.
We've been licensed only a few days and already a call.
I spent some time on the phone getting details from the social worker, talked to Dan, prayed hard for God to {quickly} guide us.
We decided that it seemed like a situation that might fit so I called him back and told him we were in if they needed us.
Then we watied - the case involves a couple different counties so there is was some coordination that would need to take place.
As of last night, the social worker from the county where this child originated thought he would be placed in that county after all but she would know all the details today.
So, the door is not completely shut in this case from what I can determine, but it appears to be headed that way.
Last night Dan asked me if I was doing OK with this, and I sat there for a minute and then told him that I felt surprisingly calm and peaceful about it all. This is a bit out of character for me but it felt great and I felt very comforted that God is going to put this little boy in the exact place He has for him. If that is with us, wonderful, but if it isn't, I know that He is working out his perfect plan for His glory.
Praise God for His ability to calm me anxieties and soothe my disappointments.
A good friend of my husbands sent him a text message that went something like this. We know that God is not in the business of toying with our emotions. Perhaps this near miss has happened to remind you that things can happen quickly and we should be prepared for His working in our lives. Well said brother :)
I'm home today from work due to an unfortunate meeting with a patch of black ice in the driveway this morning. The result was a mess of twisted limbs, coming down hard on my knee and wrist, and now a date with an ice pack, Motrin, elevation. I don't think it's serious but as time passes I am feeling some annoying throbbing and frankly aching all over. Hopefully a day of rest and treating my knee nice will take care of it and I will be back to work tomorrow. The funny thing is that this morning, JSUT BEFORE WALKING OUT THE DOOR, I said to Dan that I was feeling some fatigue from the previous day of riding the emotional roller coaster and it would be nice to just have a day off! Yes, those words actually came out of my mouth! Not thirty seconds later the debacle in the driveway occured. Maybe God misunderstood me or maybe I should have been more specific about HOW I would have liked that day off to happen! Just goes to show you have to be careful what you ask for!
