Today is Abby's "Golden" Birthday. 29 on the 29th. I'm so lucky to call her my wife and best friend. Happy Birthday, Boo! Hopefully your birthday wish, and all your other wishes, will come true very soon.
Happy Birthday, Abby! We love you! It's going to be an amazing year, your 29th (or is it really your 30th year on the planet - I always get all mixed up). Regardless, it's going to be a very special year and we're excited that we get to witness it!
Hey Abby, Happy Birthday!!! I am excited for all your 29th year has in store! I'm very hopeful for what is ahead of you. I was going through my blog this morning and found your comment from several weeks ago. I meant to write you right away and thank you for your encouragement. It means a lot to have someone who understands where you are. I think of you often and am praying for you and Roger and your sweet little baby. We haven't made it to Adoption Fellowship for the last 2 months, so I'm sad if I've missed you. I'd love to catch up in person! I read your post about the frustration you've been feeling and I related. Unknowns are killer. I've spent so much time feeling out of control - through the process of trying to have a baby, trying to adopt a baby, waiting on the agency, having no news, basically being at a standstill when all I want to do is RUN. If you've checked our blog lately, you know we're not just running right now, but we're sprinting! This phase is very stressful too, but being able to see an end in sight makes a big difference. And so I'm praying for you as you wait knowing that there is an end, but not knowing when. Isaiah talks about running and not growing weary, about gaining strength as we wait. I would cry when I heard that praise song "Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord" because I didn't feel like I was getting stronger, but I wanted to hope for it so much. I'm praying for you and for your endurance. And I will rejoice with you when you finally hold that baby in your arms. At that point, it will all be worth it...
