What I wrote Sunday morning:
My 2 babies, all snuggled up together and sleeping peacefully. So beautiful. Thank you Lord.

"a daily struggle"
LOVE Ann Voskamp's blog posts, which I get in my email.
Today was introduced to a new 'friend'--and her adoption story felt so real, I want to be able to find it again. http://www.leavingitallonthefield.com
The way she writes about parenting is the way that I feel too--feeling inadequate, not wanting to sacrifice "me" for what my kids and husband need... (Not saying it's always bad to think of ourselves, but often it's the right and better choice to put consistency and training before doing what I want at that moment... )
Off to class~!
last paragraph of her blog post:
We continue to wrestle with feelings of inadequacy as parents. It is a daily struggle to lay down ourselves and make the sacrifices necessary in raising a large family. We are hopeful that there is a little girl from China in our future, but we know that God may have a different plan. Regardless of how the details unfold, God has opened our eyes to the suffering of these precious little souls and we cannot turn away. He is our perfect family planner.
