The end is in sight. We were out doing last minute shopping this morning and began discussing what it "feels" like to be a parent. Since we did a special needs adoption, we have know for about four months that we would be adopting Julianna and have had her picture to stare at. We even call her our child and consider ourselves to be her parents. But it has not really impacted our lives. There is a small amount of inconvenience related to the safety latches on the cabinets and drawers, but for the most part, our lives go on as if nothing had ever happened. It made me think about Christianity, how we go around saying we are Christian, but does it impact our lives? We can have the "inconvenience" of going to Church, but does our faith change our daily routine? Are we striving to live our lives in a manner that glorifies God? Or do we put up the pictures on Sunday and go back to regular life on Monday?
