Today was a sad day. I saw my friend in the store. Her baby died last night. What do you say to someone who is grieving the loss of a child? Sorry? It doesn't seem like enough yet it's all you can say. Today was also the first day in a long time I didn't obsess over the referral wait. I was thinking about my friend. It is funny how you get so caught up in your own wants and "needs' that it is easy to forget there is so much going on in the world. It is not just us. I guess this is the reason that adoption has always been near to my heart. For me it seems like one little step to be a part of the world instead of just a part of "me." I have always believed that I was here for a particular reason. Adoption is what God has called me to do since I was very young. I know it. I am so blessed that I was able to be pregnant and have babies and I am just as blessed that I will be adopting again. To think that the Lord is entrusting me with a child who came from a womb other than mine. WOW! What a great calling. What a special blessing. I will be praying tonight for my friend and her family. I will also be praying for the millions of orphans around the world. We are all God's children. He calls all of us to Him.
