Emotional...

Okay, I know I'm not pregnant. I know that there is no pregnancy hormones running through my system. However, I can't help but realize that adoption is just as much a roller coaster emotionally as birthing a child. And just as unpredictable. Just as irrational. Just as irritating.

Lord, have mercy on me. Give those I live with patience and understanding. Help me have grace with myself. Give me the strength to stand in sorrow and sadness. Help me to remember the joy. Give me hope. Give me calm. Give me peace. I surrender. I trust. I choose to hope.

Coming soon...an 11 year old's meltdown and how not to handle.
