How do you prepare for the unknown??

Well Fridays evaluations seem to have gone well.  They didn't call the police or usher us off the property. :)  We had a nice talk with Mr. F and filled out some of his surveys, not to mention I had to leave them the paper work. :(  That made me kinda sad.  I really liked my paper work.  But they were very impressed with it, so I feel it was appreciated. :)
We have our home study on Wednesday.  I am excited and nervous.  I think we have a wonderful home and have plenty of room for more kiddos.  However, I am afraid they will not see us as 'prepared' for more kids. We have the bedrooms, but not knowing what ages/genders God has for us....I'm not sure how to prepare. I see the pins on Pinterest of the all the 'preppers' and their plans to prepare for everything from a zombie apocalypse to the end of the world. .  If they can prepare for those events, why can't I rap my mind around preparing for 'the call'?
I am constantly reminded of these words from my Heavenly Father:

Ecclesiastes 3:1 - "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens...." The writer of Ecclesiastes goes on to list varying degrees of life and things we wait for, both with excitement and anticipation.  So, there is a time to wait, and a time to prepare.So, right now is my time to wait.  I was reminded of the story of Mary and Martha this Sunday at church.  I will try to be Mary and sit at the feat of Jesus and marvel at all He is doing during this process and give the honor and glory to Him.  While I would be much more comfortable as Martha and busy myself with the details, I will be still and enjoy the presence of the Lord in the amazing journey.
