Glimpses

I am a person who tends to believe in "signs"...I do believe that God speaks to us through other people. However, I do have a dose of reality that lives with me...and I know sometimes we see in things what we want to see. Whatever the case may be, I believe God is preparing my heart and our heart as a couple for the child we will be blessed with.

I have recently seen young children who were obviously different in appearance than their parents and grandparents...and I saw what tremendous love they showed their child...just in the glimpse that I witnessed. I know there will be difficulties and challenges no matter what.

I had a dream last night, a distinct dream, about getting the call, holding our baby in my arms and seeing his/her face. And it didn't matter in that moment of looking at her face that it didn't mirror my own...what mattered was that she was ours.

I know our wait could still be 1-2 years, so for now I will have to take comfort in these glimpses, trust in God and cherish the family that we are surrounded by.
