When Words Don't Come

Sometimes words just cannot describe what you are feeling.  Sometimes they just don't capture a moment well-enough.  Not for lack of desire or trying, but sometimes the words just don't come.  Two weeks ago I wanted to sit down and blog about the most wonderful thing that had happened.  Two weeks ago I couldn't wait to share the good news.  And for two weeks, the words haven't come.

Two weeks ago we signed the intent to adopt papers for our sweet Baby M!  He has now been with us for over a year and we continue to fall more in love with him every day.  We have learned how important each day is.  We have learned that God knows our hearts and is not setting out to hurt us even when we can't see the big picture.  We have learned the value of family and the importance of prioritizing.  We have learned to use each moment of a "waiting period".

Sometimes words don't come because we are so wrapped up in the moment.  But there is value in reflection.  As I write this now, I am tearing up, seeing how far we've come and how I can't imagine our life any differently.  Our hope is to finalize our adoption this summer.  In my five year plan, there were no children for the foreseeable future.  But God knew that it was time for me to be a mommy.  All I had to do was say yes.
