Where does the time go???
When I first started this blog, this is what I wrote:
I look back and I seem to be at a loss for words (...hush...) on this journey called Motherhood. It has been the most amazing experience of my life...and the most difficult. Those who have been at this longer than me keep saying that the best - and worst - is yet to come. (Thanks...by the way. I'd prefer to think it HAS to get easier.) HOWEVER, before I show you all the wonderful things these precious babies are doing... and how amazing they really are... I wanted to remind you where it all began. God is so good... and knowing that He is in control has been the single most comforting part of this entire journey. These pictures are from the visit that Tim and I made to Guatemala (October 2003) to meet Alejandra and Rachel. We fell in love with them the first time we saw their referral photos. But we gave our hearts away, wholly and completely the moment that we saw their faces, and held them in our arms. Our lives have never been the same...
All of that is still so true! But despite the highs and the lows... the pain and the waiting... I would do it all again tomorrow!! Ten times over! The joy that these girls have brought into our lives is such a blessing.
Our family has grown in the past five years. We've celebrated bringing home two more children and the triumph of overcoming the "WAIT". We have so much to be thankful for - so much to celebrate! But on THIS day, we celebrate the beginning of it all... Ali and Rachel and their Forever Family Day!
Where does the time go??? Keep your eyes open... because you blink... and then they're gone!
