Wow...were do I begin to say how blessed we are to have such wonderful family and friends. Yesterday was our birthmother's birthday. We had so many activities going on that we were committed to so we tried to do our best to fit them all in. My sister really was a lifesaver by keeping Jaydon, and my parents helped with things too. What a blessing in the midst of a busy day.
We were in awe of how God orchestrated so many things yesterday, from many conversations of adoptions to receiving some much needed encouragement from some of the women in my life. I not only realized once again that God is in control of this entire situation, but He also has designed my family and the friends that our a part of our family to be more than one could ever need or ask for in a family situation.
One of the last places we went yesterday was to a graduation party, it was there that I realized that God had handpicked the women to be in my support system, to help guide and teach me things, not so much through words, but through their own experiences and lives. In the past few years I have watched so many of these women go from one phase of life to the another, and all of them showed grace and a renewed, deep, passionate love for God in the midst of some of the deepest pain that a person can experience. It amazes me when I sit back and remember several of these women taught me some important Biblical principles that have really stuck with me all of my life. I am not sure if they realize what an impact they have on my life.
Nonetheless, God put so many people in our path that I had no idea that could teach me and help me by just watching them. It is really neat to open your eyes and look around and actually see God's design and plan for this area of your life and how He has protected those relationships all along the way.
I said all of that to say, as we celebrated Brady Cameron's birthmother's birthday, I was once again reminded in a physical way of how overwhelmingly I am blessed.
Today, we will go to church and be able to praise God for who is and the great things He has done and going to do. As it says in Matthew 6:19-21, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also".
I pray that when anyone looks at my life....they will not have to question what I treasure and where my heart is. Happy day to all and Happy Birthday to Halleigh!!!...we will continue on our journey and update you along the way.
