Letter To My Son...

(SKIP this is you don't want to read anything sappy and just want the facts...just a warning:)

Hi there little one..I know it seems silly that I am writing to you and I haven't met you yet. It is therapeutic for me to let you in on my thoughts. I woke up this morning at 5 am in a panic...wondering what I am doing in this process...when will I wake up and forget all the things I now know about the needs of your country? The answer is I don't think I will. I don't think there will be another day to go about my day and not feel almost shameful to enjoy these luxuries while you and your sweet friends sit in need. How can I help you? Where do I start? How can I even begin to change your world? I believe that God will answer those questions at some point.

Everyone I have told about you tells me how you are going to be so blessed and how changed your life will be. You know what I think? I think YOU will change our lives! I think YOU will bless others beyond my comprehension.  I know it won't be easy for you or for daddy and I. Your brothers will need time to adjust and we will have to work hard to make a family unit. I trust that all things will work out in the end the way they are destined to be.

As you sit on the other side of the world, I pray safety over you, that you feel warm and content, that you feel love, and smiling faces when you are held.  God is going to change your life forever. I know your little mind can't comprehend such a big thought but my hope is you feel contentment in your heart, and anytime you feel helpless and cry with no answer, you will find peace because soon my sweet son, you will never be lonely again and your cry will never go unanswered. You will love people who love you back...something you have never known before.

You are destined for something very big, I can feel it in my bones. That's why I won't quit until I have you here to give you opportunity. Your daddy is so excited too, he is now talking about you all the time and your brothers are just waiting to teach you, love you, and play with you! Now, we just have to get you here!

Love,
Mommy
