God does not look at how many more hard days are ahead but rather counts down until you see the rainbow at the end of this storm - the most beautiful rainbow awaits you and it could not come without the rain. He is your covering though my friend!Our Journey to Grace and Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00830545531600583481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34759469.post-8609962037005511872010-08-05T20:44:08.646-07:002010-08-05T20:44:08.646-07:00I so appreciate your transparency Megan!

It will get better and soon this will be just a hard memory!

He is so good to care for His own! What a privilege it is to pray for you and the other families in your group who have recently adopted. <br /><br />My husband and I only have two children (4 1/2 and 14 months), but I remember the first few months after our Zoe was born. We were delighted to have her in our family, blessed to overflowing, but it was SO hard adjusting. I just kept praying and longing for things to settle, to get into a routine and to finally find our new "normal".<br /><br />I'll be praying that for you guys too! It will happen!!! :-) One day at a time!Michelle Parkernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34759469.post-50370709102936994372010-08-05T06:07:13.874-07:002010-08-05T06:07:13.874-07:00Grace.
