tomorrow.

on mother's day last year, as we waited for nicolas & jude to come home, i wrote this:

today, it also added to my longing for our boys.

i know i should not have expectations, but for many reasons,

i feel like i did this time.  and the boys being home by mother's day

was actually an overshot estimate to me.  like--i really had reason to believe they'd

be home in april.  i had images of our family standing at the front of church today with

the other families that were dedicating their new babies to the Lord. i dreamt of this being the

weekend that our extended families met the boys as we celebrated that dedication.

i miss them. i cannot wait until they are home.

but, i will trust & serve & live & praise as we wait.

[i hope you can, too.  whatever you are waiting on.]

 

now, they have been home 7 months.  my mom, dad, sister & family are traveling

right now to our house.  we will spend the evening together & stand at church tomorrow

dedicating our newest boys.  2 more little lives grow inside me and we all wait expectantly

for them in a few months, too.  so thankful for this weekend and this time.

i hope the same as i did for you last year if you are still waiting.

pssst--i'm chatting motherhood over on The Vintage Pearl and

she's giving away my favorite piece.  hurry to enter--ends tomorrow!
