I woke up this morning with thoughts of my babies on my mind. I started the day off with my normal routine and actually arrived at work on time. Although I was on time to work I felt a little down today. Definitely not my normal bubbly, encouraging, fun spirited self. I am not quite sure why but as soon as I began to think about how long this day was going to be the most amazing thing happened.
One of my second graders thought about me this morning. As soon as he saw me he said, "I woke up and wanted you to eat breakfast with me. So my mom made us sausage sandwiches with prayers mixed in our eggs."
I was almost speechless. And this small act of kindness got me thinking about so many things. I began to think about how faith strengthens you when you feel like you can't go on a step further. My husband and I just started our journey to adopting twins from Ethiopia. I have to admit that the price alone is quite scary but also not knowing when the process will end is even scarier to me.
I prayed and asked that I be strengthened everyday throughout this process and I am grateful that my prayer is being answered. I know that I love the babies already and I feel like a piece of me is missing. I know that as each day continues I will love them more and more. So watch out Ethiopia, Here we come to make our family complete!
