This road is hard. It's sad. But it's OUR road. I have longed for children and just knew that I was meant to be a mom, but when God had different plans, I have had to trust him and give my plans over to him. I have learned to let go, let him lead me, crave his plans for my life. It has not been easy, and yes I have resisted several times, but I try. There are days that my heart hurts so bad! There are days that I can not breath from the pain! There are days that I feel so alone, that no one could ever fell this pain! You know what.....HE KNOWS MY PAIN!!!! I have found peace in that fact whenever I have that deep down, heart hurting pain. He loves me and he has HUGE plans for my life. I don't know how my story plays out, but I know that there will be kids involved!!!
So this is my story, it's incomplete I know, but it's a work in progress! I may not have the adoption story yet, but I will someday! Till then, I will praise the Lord, Love my God, and give HIM all the glory! I pray that none of my friends and family ever go through this or know this pain! I pray for the women in this world that have to walk this road! Above all, I give THANKS to my Lord for my journey.
Oh, and I have to say that this little guy ROCKS!!! This is my nephew. He was adopted from Ethiopia! Just thought I would give a shout out to this guys on this special SUYL!! Love you buddy!
