Always thinking of the first mother, the one that is left behind, without her small treasure. As we save to bring one of these precious ones home, thank you for bringing my heart and thoughts back to her. Praying for your own bundle of joy, and thankful for the peace that passes our understanding. May it continue to guard your heart and mind.Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06676718452074756394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295309110117449262.post-12026804971977578752010-09-18T12:57:49.685-05:002010-09-18T12:57:49.685-05:00How precious are those children.

Of course my thoughts, my prayers go to her first family, but I often forget all of those who touched her life those long nine months before I was her mom.

I'm so excited about the baby swirling inside your womb. You and Jacob already make great parents. Our Ladies prayer group meets on Tuesday mornings and you and your family are always in our prayers. Mike and I are now at Faith Bible Church. Worley Kennedy is the minister.

I've heard so much that "obedience brings blessing". Sometimes those blessings are earthly, and sometimes they're in the Heavenlies. I think that our obedience brings us closer to His heart. <br />Love your words, I know they are HIS!<br />praying for yall everydaY...The Ferrill'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06091232102936751058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295309110117449262.post-32988527957823495122010-09-17T10:10:40.160-05:002010-09-17T10:10:40.160-05:00Carrie - I can't even begin to describe what I...Carrie - I can't even begin to describe what I am feeling right now. But thank you for it. When we spoke in person all those months ago at ND, I heard your heart for all the first Moms and what I heard reflected what I feel so deeply as my kids grow and change. Thank you. God is transforming you and He's doing it for the good of all of us out here too. I agree with Tami when she said that there is a one day, future reunion that we can hope and I am so thankful for that hope.

Sophie is just so special, and I PRAY that God bestows upon her bio mom's heart an understanding and peace that Sophie is OK. No, I can't imagaine how you could ever forget. I would love for her to 'see Sophie now;-)'. I would LOVE for Sophie to be able to know her biological mom. I know as Sophie grows older and she starts to grasp all that has happened, she will have so many questions and a void that she will have to carry. I rest in the hope, and promise that all the questions will be answered, the emptiness filled and will ALL be together one day.<br /><br />Congratulations;-)!!!<br /><br />TamiTamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15444310995105378298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7295309110117449262.post-44926457061156121822010-09-17T03:22:52.283-05:002010-09-17T03:22:52.283-05:00Beautiful.......and I can understand having a peac...Beautiful.......and I can understand having a peace and knowing it is not a "mere act of will".

You've described a fulfillment and contentment that only comes through living close to Him. And He is clearly revealing a transformed you ... as you grow more and more into His likeness. The unselfish love and you and your staff give without consider for your own breaking hearts is humbling. You all are my heros. <br />Love & Blessings from Hong Kong,<br />KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01158109379150463976noreply@blogger.com
