As a parent, the days are long…but the years are short.

I chose to share this song this week in honor of our Adoption Anniversary.  September 29, 2006  the court finally recognized what Hubby and I felt in March 2005 – Woody and Tigger were officially members of the family.  When the courts finally made it official, the boys had been with us for 19 months, so for us it was more of a finalization on paper. As they’d been “ours” in our hearts for a long time.

Adoption has changed our lives in so many ways.  We are blessed beyond measure to be the forever family for Woody and Tigger.

When love takes you in and everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here
The loneliness ends and a new life begins
When love takes you in

This is the stuff that drives me crazy
This is the stuff that’s getting to me lately
In the middle of my little mess
I forget how big I’m blessed
This is the stuff that gets under my skin
But I gotta trust You know exactly what You’re doing
It might not be what I would choose
But this is the stuff You use

One of my favorites.

I will remain confident in this
I will see the Goodness of the Lord.

We set our hope on You
We set our hope on Your love
We set our hope on the One
Who is the Everlasting God.
You are the Everlasting God.
