Two days ago was one of my favorite holidays....Christmas. Shawn and I decided that for the first time in six years we would not buy presents for each other, but instead save and buy for the babies. We came across two really cute onesies..one of them said Mommys Helper and the other said Daddys Sweetheart. I thought it would fit our two blessings perfectly.
This adoption thing is something else. I don't really know who our babies are yet, never seen a picture, spoken to their birth mother, but yet and still we love them as though they have been here all along. We spoke with someone yesterday and he was sharing with us that in his experience, children love unconditionally and so do most mothers. I thought about my mother. Which let me start off by saying I have the best mom in the world. I wouldn't trade her for anything.
Growing up I always thought she and my father were some type of super heroes. They always seemed to be there when I needed them and also many times when I thought I could handle life on my own. I can recall the late gymnastics practices, meets, cheerleading games and one constant in all of that was my mom. She was ALWAYS there supporting me. Through all of the ups and downs my mommy never changed and she showed me unconditional love. Her love showed me how powerful love can be. I took that into my marriage and I think that is how my marriage is even better five years later.
Love. Not just any kind of love but a mother's love. A mother's love speaks of being faithful. Mommy is always there no matter the season, day or time of the day she is always there ready to pick up the pieces, share encouragement or even just listen. To be faithful is to have unconditional love towards others. I thank the Lord that he gave me the family that he gave me. My two sisters are the best, My dad (aka Frog) is exceptional, my mom is out of this world, and then he gave me a husband who serves God and tries to be better each day. I couldn't have asked for too much more.
I know this process is long. Sometimes this process may not make any sense. Sometimes this process may be disappointing, but the love I have for the babies will not change. I can not wait to have them signed, sealed, and delivered. God is so tight to me because the Bible says that he chose us before the foundation of the world and that our names appear in the Lamb's book of life. (signed) He also said that no good thing would he with hold from those that walk upright before him. (sealed) Lastly, the word says that if he has given a promise is he not able to perform it. (delivered) I don't know the actual delivery date quite yet but the fact that God has signed, sealed, and delivered a promise is all I need to fight for it.
