I love the fact that Jonathan calls me a princess........
I love the fact that our children love to dance......
I love the fact that they love for us to sing to them, tickle them, read to them as we tuck them in....
I love the fact that we get to do silly simple things...and our kids LOVE it....like hot chocolate & a movie :).......
I love the fact that we get to pray over them, and they love to pray for us.......
I love the fact that Joshua still calls for mommy when daddy is tickling him......
I love the fact that they LOVE CHURCH family.........
I love the fact that they can quote movies after seeing them once (which is why we are VERY careful about what they watch)......
I love the fact that they are great at cleaning up.......
I love the fact that MOST of the time they are sooo helpful, and even understand when we are having a hard day..........
I love the fact that Andrew loves to mimic me..........
I love the fact that Abigail will stand up for daddy every time...........
I love the fact that Elizabeth smiles- no matter what...........
I love Matthew's crazy sense of humor....so dry....it cracks me up...........
I love the fact that we have the privilege of caring for 7 AMAZING MIRACLES- soon to be 8!!!!
Do you ever wonder why God choose you for your children- biological or adopted? Do you ever wonder- why do I deserve this? How can I be worthy? Because I don't know about you, but I KNOW I AM NOT!!!!
Right now in this difficult time......I remember that although all of our adoption journeys have been ridiculously hard.....that God knows my pain. He is right here with us. He is still loving us. He is still on our side. I also know that if it is placed before us then we can take it. As in...It may not be fun, but we can handle it. Why? Because God is HOLDING US! When all of you WONDERFUL PRAYER WARRIORS have been praying for us- this has been my picture. My family being held by God in HIS ALMIGHTY HANDS- INCLUDING OUR NAOMI!!!
Maybe, just maybe tomorrow we will get great news. Maybe not, but whatever the outcome- WE WILL STILL wake up, love our children, and praise the Lord because that is what we were made to do. So join with me :)
