Tonight my new daughter sleeps on organic cotton, Pottery Barn sheets in a beautiful pink and pink bedroom fit for a princess. Tomorrow she says good-bye to her first family. I won't go in to that story because it is not mine to tell. However, the severity of that pain and grief and the significance of that loss are not wasted on me. And, as we are comforted to be one step closer to making her our own, I am reminded that bad choices have destroyed a family and what could have been. We are committed to seeing it made whole, through our Hope that is unwavering.
- Isaiah 61:3
To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
That is all.
