I'm a married mother of "3 1/2" ;) and the loves of my life are my faith and my family. I've grown in my faith over the last two years since my daughter's adoption, she is the reason why I started this blog in the first place, and I'm so looking forward to watching God move in my heart, and the hearts of others who follow along on our journey towards bringing home one of "the least of these". Special needs adoption is my mission field, whether I'm adopting a child myself, or helping other families get funded, or shouting for waiting children who need families to find them, and I hope you'll come along for the ride and watch what God can accomplish when we say yes to His command to care for the orphan, and go out into the world to be His hands and feet.

Daddy's Corner...Tasha's night night song

Hi Natasha, It's Daddy!!!  So this week I was sick a lot but now I'm feeling a lot better.  The good thing about being sick was that it allowed me to listen to the radio a little more than I normally would.  When your brother Dylan was younger I used to tuck him into bed every night and make up different stories for him until he fell asleep.  When mommy was pregnant with your brother Jack, I would sing a song to him and I still do that even now when I tuck him into bed.  I haven't had that chance to do that with you yet, my beautiful daughter, but I heard this beautiful song this week from a talented singer named Christina Perri.  I fell in love with the words and I immediately started thinking of you when I heard it.  I'm going to copy the lyrics here for you tonight, Natasha, and when we get together we can listen to it and one day sing it together.  I'm sure you will sing much better than I can.  Before I post the lyrics, just remember what I always tell you...keep looking at the moon and the stars and know that when you are doing it...I am too.  I love you babydoll and can't wait to be with you.  Here's the lyrics...

"A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
