Complexity

As each day passes we get closer and closer to the reason we started out on this journey. Growing up I knew the World was much bigger than I could really grasp. I'd lay in our front lawn on a summers evening staring at the vast sky and all the stars above it, and suddenly I'd feel that rush, that feeling of falling and I knew in that moment that this planet of ours was moving. As an adult I am still humbled by the completely unique and utter complexity of our world and everything that God has placed here. It's been mere weeks since we found out we were going to be parents, till we finally had that due date, and I am humbled again by the sheer velocity of my little world and all that God has in motion that leads to my truly blessed life. Every step forward we are getting closer. I find myself wanting to sprint to the end, but as with anything worth waiting for, I know we must find some way to pace our selves. Every little thing catches me in my stomach as I slowly realize that God has answered so many prayers. We can't wait to meet our son.

Just keep praying for our little miracle and for many other miracles for all parents waiting for their children to come from wherever.

I heard an interesting thing today, a forest is really one massive tree. As the roots beneath the trees we see connect and unify into one massive tree. Adoption is the merger of families coming together and merging from one common bond, our children.
