As I glanced out the window on Friday, I observed the thin blanket of white covering the ground. It hit me that this was Myla's first snow. It is funny how the simpliest things will bring forth a wave of thoughts that leave me pondering all day long.
Why would the snow bring forth a time of reflection?
Simple, our little princess is from Arizona. Her Birth Mother has never seen snow. It is a reminder to us that even the snow on the ground will bring forth a drastically different life than she would have had if she were not in our hearts and lives.
Thoughts like these always leave me wondering...praying that I will be all that she needs me to be. It brings me to a place of determination that I will not let her, her Birth Mother, or the Lord down.
I will fight for her. I will strive every day to show her the love we have for her. I will try to represent the Father to her each and every day.
With each day that I ponder these things in my heart, I will fall before the Father and ask for him to guide me as I love on our Arizona Princess...the child he chose for us.
