15 years ago today...

REALLY...can it be...

15 YEARS AGO TODAY,

 I wed my very best friend...

the man of my dreams!!

 I say the man of my dreams but honestly, he is more than the man I could have ever dreamed of being blessed with.  I just love how the Lord new the desires of my heart for a husband and He gave me a man that was perfectly created for me.  A man who loves me more with each passing day...A man who makes me feel loved, desired, and beautiful...A man who works tirelessly to provide for our family...A man who in an incredible daddy to our babies...A man who's love for the Lord is his priority in life...a man...MY MAN...15 years married...18 years together...can't wait to see what the next 15 hold for us...you are my very breathe...I love you babe!

Struggling...

Today I struggle...honestly, everyday I struggle...I struggle with the knowledge that there is a beautiful little boy who is waiting in China for his forever family.  I struggle with the knowledge that his best friend is home with his new family and his last 2 best friends have families paperchasing for them.  I struggle with the fact "our" sweet, beautiful, precious, CREATED IN GOD'S IMAGE, wonderful Dalton still doesn't have his forever family.  I struggle with all of the new pictures we receive of Solomon's buddies and I'm excited to know that 2 of the 3 that are left have their families but before we know it, those pictures will only have Dalton in them...no Solomon, no Kaden, no Parker, only Dalton... I struggle with the images of this sweet one begging me for a mommy...with the images of him watching us leave the orphanage with his best buddy...with the images of him standing there so confused and sad...

Oh, how I wish it was us...I wish we could adopt him. Believe me, there have been many tears shed but God has CLEARLY, soooo sooooo CLEARLY told us 'NO'.  I still don't understand why He's told us no but I trust His perfect plans and I trust that He knows exactly where Dalton's family is.  I wonder...are they listening...do they hear God's calling...are they afraid...will they be bold and brave enough to trust God's calling of stepping out in total trust and faith....where are they...who are they...  BUT in all my wondering, God knows...He knows the answers to all of those questions and I have peace knowing He loves Dalton so much more then I ever could and that He has him in the palm of His hands!!

So I ask again, please....please...I'm begging you...continue to PRAY for him...continue to spread the word...feel free to share my blog posts about him...it works...it really does...that is how Parker found his family...it was by all of you spreading the word!!
