10 years....

It's been an interesting year that I feel I have grown in my walk with God a ton. I truly believe that's the reason each year is not as painful in knowing I will never meet the baby that would have been 10 today. My friend's Kelly, that I posted about 2 days ago, and Kristin have shown me that it's ok to grieve but we need to rely on God to be there to pick us up. There's no time table I need to forget it or be ok about it, but when I share my pain with God, it lightens the load. Some years will be harder than others I know, but as long as I remember to let God lift me up when I can't carry on, I will be ok.

I am so glad that I have been listening to God and use my experience with this and the adoption for the good. I am working at Alpha Women's Center one day a week sharing my story, helping the girls, and just listening. They are amazing women and I'm so glad that I am honored to be able to meet them and be there for them. God is so good!

Hi Kelly,

I wish I lived near so I could hug you right now. The pain of not knowing/meeting/holding/loving on your precious child is often too much to handle..thankfully God will step in and pick us up. He will help us carry on with the day to day life that seems overwhelming..and I believe in time, we will find happiness and joy like many people never get the chance to experience. I am sorry for the pain you have dealt with, as well as the pain Kristin has faced - but I am more than thankful that we all have each other to turn to!

You are such a wonderful, loving person Kelly - surely God is so proud of you and cannot wait until the moment he is able to reunite you with your precious child!!

Love and hugs!
Kelly
