We are getting so anxious & excited as we wait for that phone call & photo of our precious little girl!!! We have been praying for so long for the match to be perfect. That we will be all that she needs & that she will be all that our family needs. I can't imagine what God has in store for us!
As I look at & hold newborn babies, I can't help but wonder... is my baby this small right now? ...is she being held? ...is she fussy? ...is she being fed? I just wonder through out each day what is going on in her life & I long to be with her. I love to read other adoptees blogs as I go through this journey and one put everything into perspective for me...
A lady had been waiting for a while for a photo of her baby. She was getting so anxious and was beginning to get impatient. She kept pleading to God that today would be the day she finnally got to stare at her photo. She felt God tell her "your baby's birth mother is praying for one more month, one more week, one more day, just one more second that she could hold her tiny hands and glare into her beautiful eyes. Don't steal the last moments she has with her."
As I read these words, I began to sob and pray for our baby girl's mother. What sadness she must be feeling to know that she cannot take care of & provide for this little one; or that she could die anytime & will not get to see her baby grow up. I cannot imagine. I have made a commitment to myself & God that everytime I think of our baby, I will also pray for her mother. That He will comfort her & give her rest knowing that she will be in good hands & will be loved so much.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans for hope and a future."
