I looked into her big brown eyes the other day, and this is what I said:
It was worth it…
-Every tear
-Every sleepless night
-Every worrisome day that passed by
-Every phone call that wasn’t our agency
-Every time I closed the nursery door
-Every time I rocked an invisible baby
-Every time I looked at others in envy
-Every dollar
-Every prayer
-Every journal entry
-Every painful step of hope God led us on
It was all worth it. You are worth it.
And God says the same thing to me. Every day. You were worth it all.
“Thus says the LORD: ‘The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest, the LORD appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you’.” (Jeremiah 31:2,3)
I love this post! She is beautiful – and so are you and your family! Love to you, Tiffany, Jeremy, and family!
Thank you Velvet! We are so in love and so thankful!
Well I was adopted. When my parents shared this with me they told me I was special because they got to pick me. I felt that all my life.
Thanks for sharing Anna! That makes me teary-eyed. I pray Esther feels that same thing her whole life. It is truly our privilege and joy to love her.
