I sat in the middle of the floor reading each and every word that was written. I had to get a tissue half of the way through because my tears were blocking my ability to read. Our situation can be extremely difficult and there are days I feel so alone, but today my heart was full of joy knowing there are so many of you out there praying for us. This was the sweetest gift because I know it was from the hearts of all who wrote in it.
I love each of you and "thank you" truly couldn't be enough for the joy I feel in my heart and the thankfulness I have for each prayer you have said for us. I appreciate the gift and prayers more than you will ever know. Please consider this my deepest thanks for everything and I am asking that you continue to pray for us that we'll be blessed with a family and do everything we are supposed to do. There are so many unknowns and uncertainties along this journey, but I know in the end God will provide the family we are supposed to have.
I am so thankful for getting the courage to begin this blog as I believe it has opened people's eyes to the fact that not evereything in life is Mayberry or Leave it to Beaver. I feel I have had contact with people I never would have before and they have strengthened me in ways I never thought possible. Thank you again for your kindness, words will never express the joy the present brought me.
Our future family may not be a "traditional" family but it will be ours and perfect for us and for that I am extremely thankful.
Here is the sweet bag.
The sweetest elephants with a "believe" bracelet, which I will wear A LOT!
The cards & CD before I opened them :)

Emily,
ReplyDeleteTears are streaming down my face as I am so thankful this gift had the affect on you that we were hoping it would...not that it made you cry, but that it increased your faith and helped you to see that there are people praying everyday. I believe God is working on the other end! I love you and will keep praying!
So glad that your spirits were lifted and that you felt God move in an amazing way. :)
ReplyDeletePraying for your family, including baby Cassady!!!
I'm glad our gift increased your faith and will hopefully give you and Adam a little boost along the way! God is hearing our prayers and will answer in His time. Just hold on...
