our family traveled to China
to receive this precious girl….
this is the picture I looked at
every.single.night
as I went to bed
I prayed for her….
for health
that we would not be too late to help her
for happiness
security
ability to love
ability to receive love
good nutrition
warmth
giggles
laughter
and oh so many more things….
those deep searching eyes haunted me
I rested in the fact that God had her in his palms
that he was watching over her
and that he would take us to her
to this day
this picture stirs deep emotions within me,
causes my heart to pause
makes me realize she lived a totally different life
before she came to be ours
in my wildest dreams
I could not have imagined how God would answer my prayers
those precious eyes
no longer haunt this Mama
who loves her so
