I knew it was coming...today...Mother's Day and lastt August as we turned in our profiles to our adoption agency I felt a tinge of hope that this Mother's Day I would actually be a mother. But sadly in the back of my head I knew I wouldn't. I was sure it would be like last year, but guess what? God had something so much more in store for me this Mother's day.
Words don't describe the feeling I have today. My heart is absolutely overwhelmed to be a mama to my perfect little angel. Today I woke up excited like a child on Christmas morning, to get up and squeeze Faith tight, to love her and tickle her toes, and feel her huge wet kisses on my cheek. It was beautiful and perfect and more than my heart ever dreamed it to be.
I am also thankful for an amazing mother, who made me want to be a mother. Raising children is the most important job I believe we are put on this earth to do and I am so thankful to have a mother who loved me so much. Everything I am today I owe to my mom and dad. But today on Mother's day I celebrate my mom for the amazing woman she is who always put her only child above herself. I love you Mom! Thank you for showing me love so that I can love in return.
As Faith napped this morning just my mom and I went out to breakfast for some girl time. We enjoyed chatting away and also talking about Star and how much we adore her. She made me a mom and my mom a grandma. And it just makes me think how amazing women are. As wifes and mothers and mothers to be we are so strong and so incredible each and everyone of us!
Tonight we will be going to my mom's house, the whole family, for a turkey dinner, much like Thanksgiving because we have so much to be thankful for!
And today I know there are so many of you who are hurting and whose hearts are aching for child. I prayed for you this morning and will do so again tonight. Just last year I was here and now...God has entrusted me with Faith. Your day is coming I promise..." The Lord bestows favor and honor, no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk in blameless" Psalm 84:11 Stay faithful in Him and know He knows the the desires of your heart. Know you are being thought of and prayer for by so many...
Happy Mother's Day to each and everyone of you! May your day be filled with joy and peace and everything your heart dreamed it to be!
