Happy Mother's Day

I personally LOVE Mother's Day.

God created something very special when He made Eve a mother and I think its something to be celebrated.

I truly believe that God designed me to be a mother.

Nothing in my life ever "fit" quite like being a mama.

I spend my Mother's Day being loved on by my family and it was perfect.

 

Something our pastor said in church today really caught my attention.

He said that every child has the perfect mother for him or her.

Its not that the mother is perfect, just perfect for that specific child.

 

It has made me think about all the waiting we have been doing.

First we wait for Isryelle and Boaz.

Now we are waiting on little baby Penelope.

We are also waiting to have another biological baby.

Waiting, Waiting, Waiting.

 

I am in awe of the fact that the Lord has called us to wait.

He knows what children are meant to be ours and he has called us to wait for those children.

People ask me all the time why we chose to adopt domestically six months ago and why we did not just have a baby.

I don't really have a good answer for those people.

The Lord told my heart that there was another little orphan out there who needed a mommy.
He told me I was that mommy.

This Mother's Day, I had the joy of holding my little Irelyn in my arms and hearing her giggle in my ear.
I had the excitement of knowing that our little Penelope will soon be in our arms.
I had the sorrow of feeling separated from my sweet Isryelle and Boaz and the comfort of knowing they are right where God wants them.

All in all, my cup runneth over.
