We're on Our Way

I found another person's adoption video, and they used this song to put together the pictures. Listening to the lyrics makes me cry when thinking about our baby that's out there somewhere. It occurred to me that if our adoption plans go as we hope, that our baby is either already born or will be born pretty soon. I love to think of them, but I wish it didn't take quite so long for us to reach them. I hope someone is holding and loving them for us until we can get there and bring them home.

"I Wasn't there the moment you first learned to breathe, But I'm on my way, On my way, I wasn't there the moment you got off your knees, But I'm on my way, On my way. Lay down, And come alive in all you've found, All you're meant to be, And for now, We'll wait until the morning light, And close our eyes to see, Just close your eyes to see. A tear must have formed in my eye, When you had your first kiss, But I'm on my way, On my way, So leave a space deep inside for everything I'll miss Cause I'm on my way, On my way. And when you feel no saving grace, Well I'm on my way, On my way, And when you're bound to second place, Well I'm on my way
On my way, So don't believe it's all in vain, Cause I'm on my way, On my way, The light at the end is worth the pain, Cause I'm on my way, On my way. I'll be there the moment you come out in white, cause I'm on my way, on my way."

I hope they're holding on, developing and growing into the little person we'll soon call our own. Just one more year to start the process, God willing. See you soon, love.

James 1:27

James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure & faultless is this: to look after orphans & widows in their distress.
