I have to say that on any given day, I can experience just about every emotion imaginable. I'll start my day crying, feeling the burdens and sadness our sweet birth mother "T", then I'll have to fight off the worry monster, then I'll get excited about the fact that we're going to have a baby (!!!!), then I'll start stressing about how our lives are about to change forever. I'm serious! Every single emotion a person can have enters my thoughts daily.
Luckily, God has given me such a peace in my heart about the whole thing that none of the emotions lasts long. I am SO grateful for the peace He has given me-and I know it's evident because several people have commented about how calm I am. ME...the most un-calm (is that even a word?!) person on the face of the planet!
It's almost indescribable how I just know that every thing will be fine. No matter what happens-and I've learned that anything can happen-I am resting in the peace the Lord has given me. That everything will work out according to His plan.
We are grateful for your continued prayers for us, our baby girl and our sweet birth mom, "T" in these final days/weeks before delivery.
Gratefully,

WAHOOO!!!! I love this post. It is amazing Melissa! It's amazing how God transforms people in adoption, not only families. I tell people time and time again that I have never felt closer to God than when we are in the midst of an adoption. It's the most incredible thing to feel His presence and Him walking you through something. And to know that even though things can change, He is still your HOPE. You've seen it happen around you, and you've seen God's mighty work in all of our lives who have lost babes. I love being able to actually see in your life the fruits of His spirit. It's evident that you are walking with Him and I can't tell you how refreshing it is! You are not trying to gaurd yourself one bit, but trusting Him with everything. Thanks for sharing this! Love you girl and hope to see you tonight!
