{Before I get to this post, I wanted to thank those who took the time to read my post a few days ago (Through the Drought-storm). I've never been great at writing, so it makes me a little nervous to share anything other than normal conversation-type posts, but sometimes I get these pictures in my head about what God has done in my life, and the one I shared in that last post was so personal and meant so much to me - and I'm so glad to have been able to put it down into words for myself. It was nice to hear from a couple of you - thanks. ♥}
I've been thinking about our adoption a lot lately, and none of those thoughts are probably anything anyone would expect them to be.
Things are so different this time around. I wish I felt like I could come here and share all the stuff that's been going through my mind, like we were sitting somewhere just talking like friends, but it just feels so weird to write any of it here.
I hope someday I can share what it's been like to adopt. There's so much more to it than, I think, anyone guesses. There is so much we've learned and gone through. I've wanted to try to share about it for a long time, but so far it's still too attached to my heart. ..You know how sometimes you have to kind of get a little distance between yourself and a major life-altering event/process before you can really handle putting it into words? Well, I guess that's how it is for me with this.
I would love to feel like I could offer some kind of insight into adoption. I would love to share some of the things I've learned or be of some kind of help to other families beginning their journey through adoption, but I just can't seem to do that here. Every time I sit down to try I'm overwhelmed with emotion and it just bogs me down. What I've shared here before on the subject is so little compared to what is really in me to share. There is just too much there, and I find myself turning words in circles.....
So, I guess this post doesn't have much of a point...Haha! I'm sitting here typing and basically saying I have nothing to say. I'm sure if you're reading, you're really glad you stopped by for this groundbreaking news! I love to post the important stuff you know. Stuff that really makes people go, Ooo, I'm sooo glad I took the time for this. ;)
