surreal.
Today seems surreal. I woke up this morning feeling weird. It wasn't the same. Although it's just a thought, it just wasn't the same. Usually, I wake up excited. A new day, which means its so much closer than it was yesterday. But today, it was almost like no hope. I know, I know. There is tons and tons of hope for the next few months. But I didn't wake up this morning feeling "safe". I guess that's all I ever thought about. Once we were matched, it was like a safety thing. Good, now we're matched, and nothing can stop that. But, it did. And, as you learned yesterday, it wasn't the easiest thing ever.
I really love the lyrics in Praise You in the Storm by Casting Crowns. Like I said yesterday, every word is what I was thinking, and needed to hear. So yesterday, I made this, to encourage others as it encouraged me.
Awww. Feeling weird, and sad, and grief, and not feeling the same....all normal! And feeling those things doesn't mean you don't have faith or hope or trust. I'm so impressed that you were able to identify the fact that you felt "safe" in the match. That's a very profound observation. I'm praying for you.
This little boy is in the Lord's hands and has the perfect family waiting for him. And your little boy is in the Lord's hands and has you waiting for him.
You are so lovely.
