Blessed

I have been so overwhelmed today.  Overwhelmed by the beautiful picture God painted through our friends and family.  We were surrounded by those who love us and who truly care about bringing our daughter home.  I am also very aware that there were others could not be there who love us and and praying for us daily.  We are truly blessed.  Trina Clark said some things that resonated with my heart.  She told everyone there that when people plan to have a child or they dream of having a child, it is their dream, and they rejoice as their children grow, and when they do rotten things they remember how long they prayed and waited for this child.  When a child is adopted, those who surround the family and support them and pray and dream with them get to share in that.  It is also your joy, your dream to be a part of, and you will forever be a part of that childs legacy.  I thought that was beautiful.  I know that Arianas legacy includes so many people already, and I have to make sure she knows that. :) 

Saying all of that I have to say that the enemy thinks he is soooo smart, he comes in and tries to get us to focus on the negatives, the people that take advantage or don't seem to care or get why this is so important.  I refuse to focus on those things, I will not allow him to rob me of seeing the miracle God is unfolding before me.  There may be a mountain before us that we are climbing, but God is going before us and holding our hands.  What else do we need? Am amazing God, a great family and the best friends in the world... Blessed.
