1 year ago today, my entire life completely changed. I remember around 8:30p.m. before I slept my last night by myself, running frantically around my bedroom "baby-proofing" it. Many things were placed out of reach of little fingers. I remember getting ready, eating breakfast, and getting in the car all in a daze of excitement, wonder, and joy. As I turned on the street and saw the gate, a wave of nervousness swept over me. What if I'm not a good mom? What if I can't really do this? Am I sure this is the right step of obedience? Then the gate opened. I turned the corner of the building and saw my sweet boy. He was riding on a bike on the other side of the yard. He saw me and dropped the bike in an instant. He started running. He dove into my arms and just squeezed. Then I whispered: "Today is the day. You are coming home" We signed the papers and said goodbyes. I remember walking out of the orphanage thinking that this exact moment
My yes is His.
