Yesterday we headed to a hotel down on the beach to enjoy the pool and celebrate W's second birthday! Man, I love this little guy. He has lived with us since he was 5 months old, so we are pretty attached and the only family that he really knows. He loves to swim and its the one word that he consistently says in english... swim, swim swim! He slept for about half of his party, but woke up in time to enjoy the pool and eat some cake :)
Y is working a lot these days and so yesterday was the first time I had gotten to sit down and talk to her since meeting her mom. We had a long conversation that will need lots of follow up. There are just so many past wounds in her life and bringing her mom into the picture opens up a lot of them. She was raised by her grandma and it seems like the real story of her life lies somewhere between mom's story and grandma's story. That's so hard, to not really know what happened and who wanted you and why you got caught in the middle of a mother/daughter battle. So please be praying for her to have an open mind as we continue to talk. I just want her to know first and foremost that the Lord loves her, has a place for her in HIS family and its the most important family that there is! And then after that for her to be able one day to forgive her mom and grandma and hear all sides of the story of her childhood so that she can begin to heal. Please pray these things with me.
