Mother's Day?? Yes! I think I will!

My very first Mother's Day celebrating me as the MOM! I only hope I can be half of the mother that my mom is to me. What a woman! And best friend!

During our wait (LOA wait that could take 75-90 days) I have had time to really think. Uh oh, I know :) I think back to when our journey began. Things were so different, distant. I knew our adoption would take place but didn't truly understand all the details. Even down to the feelings I would have along the way. I am so in love with my daughter through a picture. I can tell you every little detail of her face and not yet touched it. She is my girl! I am blessed to be her mom.

The most awesome feeling of all is to KNOW that God chose us. Those times in PE when a team captain starts choosing his/her team for kickball. Your name is called, you have been chosen to be a vital part of the team. You feel loved, appreciated, most of all proud. That is exactly how I feel! God makes choices when it comes to service and sharing. He uses wonderful situations and difficult situations to guide people towards Him. He chooses His children carefully for every situation. He knew long before Jeremy and I met that we would come together and answer His call. Not only answer but live it, attack it head on through all adversity and shine. We have jumped many hurdles, had so many bumpy roads and (most of the time) held our heads up and followed His lead. What an amazing overwhelming feeling I get to know that I answered Him, trusted Him, and He is pleased. Just know this..... He chooses His children that CAN tackle and grow from that situation. You have the capability of turning it all to good. And you have the capability to answer His call, follow His lead and shine Him through you. Make Him proud and feel joy just like you did for your team captain! Our pastor said on Sunday, "It's not about the elements or environment. It's about the obedience."

The best Mothers Day present is knowing that she's there! I will continue to study her picture to get to know her better. I love her!

Much love and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY,
