“eden”
why did you leave us?
couldn't you stay -
how long our hearts had hoped for this day!
years had gone by,
other dreams were fulfilled -
we trusted that this was what God had willed.
and then the surprise!
our emotions ran wild -
we never thought we'd be pregnant, with child.
and then you were gone,
like the clouds melt away -
our precious surprise, you were not meant to stay.
why did you leave us?
we never may know -
but you're not forgotten, for we love you so.

Transparent ...
Some "transparent" thoughts for today ... The "waiting" part of adoption never gets easier. The "not knowing" is so hard! I have had many emotional days of late, and I struggle with these things and also with frustration at myself for not having stronger faith - for I have seen God do miraculous things in the area of adoption before! Sometimes one emotion prompts another, as was the case today ... I was thinking about our adoption situation and how much I long for the child God has in store for us, when I felt a poem stirring in my heart for the child we lost this summer. I thought I would share it here.

I do not think your emotions are any indication of your spiritual strength. I can't imagine what you are going through since we've never experienced anything like it, but I can imagine it's very emotional at times! Keep the faith and keep your chin up! Love you!
