Full Circle

Prayer has been a constant source of strength and purpose during our journey through adoption. Our lives have forever been changed by our new little addition to our family and I don't think I will ever fully understand why I have been so blessed to have my little family complete (for the moment). This Sunday was Liam's first time going to church...ever. To me this was a miracle in itself. I can honestly say that if he had been raised by his birth parents that this day may never have happened. I am so thankful that this day happened and all I can say is its a miracle that our little boy has us, but such a greater blessing and miracle that we have him.

As I sat in the sanctuary this Sunday holding my son in my arms and listened to our preacher preach, I was in complete awe of the realization of so many answered prayers. I had sat in that very spot, Sunday after Sunday, praying for just that moment. Pleading for a child. Promising to raise him in the Christian Church. And vowing to do my very best. I know now what I did not know then, that God has a plan of his own in his own very perfect timing. I know that only through his grace did he bring Keith and I together, that only through him did Keith and I find little Liam, and only through him did he make it through his rough first month of life. Babies are resilient, but God is eternal.

Thank you all for following our journey and helping us bring our son home. The enthusiasm and excitement you have all shown (hem, hem...Becky :)), truly brings tears to our eyes and we are so thankful to be here. Even at the 3 a.m. feedings and the screaming baby in the grocery store times. Thank you all for all these moments.

God Bless!
