New Day, New Attitude

OK, I took a deep breath and feel better. A day or two of moping is not that big of a deal, right?
Yesterday my best bud, Aimee sent me an e-mail that really put waiting into perspective. I told her that I knew that God had a reason for this and she agreed.

I agree that there has to be a reason for this. Perhaps your little girl is spending her last days with her first mother. Who are we to take that from either one of them?

As soon as I read those words, my perspective changed. That for now is enough to hold on to.

I love the term "first mother".That is what we call Maria's birthparents. I know the wait is hard.

Hang in there, the Good Lord know's what he is doing and you have to trust in that. I know how hard the waiting is, and believe me I have learned more through the past three years of waiting, getting a child, losing a child, and now waiting again, than I could have learned in a life time. There are so many thing's we can second-guess about the wait and the disappointment's, but in the end it doesn't matter why. I think the Lord wants us to praise him and rejoice even in these circumstances. Praise him when it is the hardest to do. You have a baby somewhere, I know she will come at the most perfect time. Dude, we really need to get together. Deanne
