Counting my Blessings!!

Where do I begin...Lately I have been feeling a little sorry for myself for not having a referral come our way. This has been the longest pregnancy ever. I feel as though I am stuck in the third trimester and my labor will never come. Now, my logic and past experience tells me it will, but my heart still aches for the day I see our little girls face and she's home with us. God is definitely working on my patience, since that is one of my biggest weaknesses. I try to pretend that it doesn't bother me, but our heavenly father sees right through that. Darn!!

So instead of feeling bad for something I never had and therefore never lost, I feel as though I need to take inventory of all the blessings that God has bestowed upon me and my family. The biggest one is my family, immediate, extended, family and friends. I am completely blessed with such an amazing family!! Here are some of my favorite pictures of our family over the last year. I love pictures!!!

Chris, I can relate about the heart aching for the referral. We too started with another country and swiched to Ethiopia in November. It seems like forever, but hopefully the wait will only make that moment we get the referral that much sweeter. You have a beautiful family - you are right - you are blessed.
That all may know Him,
