I just saw this on my friend Laura's blog and it's just too beautiful not to share. I've already done my Weekend Worship post for this weekend, but this song seems more appropriate in The Miracle of Adoption category anyway.
I know there are many, many birthmothers out there (in addition to Mark Schultz') who deserve to have this song dedicated to them. But, for me and my family, we'll dedicate it to two very special ladies in Vietnam who bravely and selflessly gave up two precious children who would become forever a part of our lives and our family. One of them remains nameless, and they both remain faceless; but to me they are two of the most beautiful women in all the world, and they will forever hold a special place in my heart.
I will admit to you that now as 15 cycles have gone by I am struggling with whether or not we should pursue adoption. We have 5 children, but feel in my heart that we were meant to have more. I know we cannot afford adoption, but I know that is it is God's will He will provide a way.
I actually, had always been adoption-minded, but now that the choice actually faces me I have been half avoiding anything about adoption b/c I had so wanted Russ' reversal to have been for a reason.
God GAVE us a FREE reversal surgery, and I don't understand what He is doing, but I am learning to TRUST HIM MORE!
