I promise I won't do that every day, but it is starting to hit me. Sometimes Andrew and I just don't really get that Anne Pearce is actually coming home with us this time! It's indescribable. Our entire family is thrilled. My friends are beside themselves. Everyone is just so ready for AP to be home. We have been blessed with so much love and support during this entire adoption. It blows my mind. I have also learned that when God is doing His work nothing can hold you down. I have had bad moments, bad days, and even bad weeks, but God's grace and peace always prevails. Sometimes we lose sight and think that the babies are the reward. The true reward is how God brings us closer to Him through this process. I know that I am a different person for all the pain I have been through, and I thank my heavenly Father for it. I will never again doubt the power of the Lord. He can do anything, and He wants to do it for us. We just have to truly believe without wavering. I don't know exactly how long I will be away from my family and home, but I know that God will give me enough grace every morning to make it through. I still firmly believe that God is going to do something HUGE with AP's adoption. Maybe this will be the week that we see His work. I for one am one the edge of my seat to see what He does for all of us!
Happy Monday, and I love you guys!
